Authenticate to the Blogs API using your API key or OAuth token. In this integration, use an API key obtained from your Blogs API dashboard and send it in the Authorization header. Then configure Bark to use that key for all requests to create or update posts and fetch metadata.
Bark uses a secure connection to the Blogs API. During setup you authorize the connection in your Bark workspace and confirm permissions (read and write posts, fetch authors, and categories). Bark securely handles tokens and never stores passwords.
Core blog-related endpoints include GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/categories to populate metadata.
Trigger: When Bark detects a new idea or draft, the integration sends a request to POST /blogs/posts to create a new blog post.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, POST /blogs/posts data to populate content, and optionally GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure a unique slug.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, excerpt, authorId, categoryId, status
Trigger: Bark campaign updates a draft, then update the corresponding blog post in Blogs API.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, status
Trigger: When composing a Bark post, fetch author and category metadata from Blogs API to populate fields.
Actions: GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories; map results back to Bark fields like authorName and categoryName.
GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
authorId, categoryId
No-code setup lets non-developers automate blog publishing from Bark campaigns.
Visual triggers and field mappings let you connect Bark to Blogs API without writing code.
Quick testing, versioning of posts, and built-in error handling improve reliability.
Below is a concise glossary of terms used in this guide and the processes to connect Bark with Blogs API.
API stands for Application Programming Interface and defines how software components talk to each other over the web.
A blog post is a published piece of content with a title, body, author, and metadata like category and slug.
A webhook is a way for one app to notify another app when an event occurs.
OAuth is an authorization protocol used to grant secure access to APIs without sharing passwords.
Automatically turn new Bark lead data into blog post drafts in Blogs API to publish later.
Map Bark fields to author IDs in Blogs API so posts align with the right author.
Link Bark campaign schedules to Blog publish dates to automate campaigns.
Obtain your Blogs API key and any required tokens, then enter them into Bark’s integration panel.
Create mappings for title, content, excerpt, author, and category to ensure posts render correctly.
Run tests, monitor logs, and then enable automation in Bark for live publishing.
No code is required to set up the Bark to Blogs API connection. You can configure triggers, actions, and mappings using Bark’s visual builder. If you prefer more control, you can customize publish logic, but the base setup works with a few clicks.
To publish posts, you primarily need POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates. Optional endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help populate dropdowns for authors and categories in Bark.
Authentication is done with an API key from Blogs API. In Bark, add the key to the Authorization header. If your setup uses OAuth, you will be redirected to authorize and tokens will refresh automatically.
Yes, you can update posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. After publishing, updates are reflected in the post. If you need to ensure slug integrity, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before updating.
Use GET /blogs/authors to fetch author details and GET /blogs/categories for category metadata. Map these values into Bark to enrich posts with accurate author and category data.
If a slug exists, you can resolve duplication by using the slug-exists endpoint to check availability and then generate a unique slug or adjust the post title. This prevents conflicts in the site URLs.
API docs for Blogs API are typically available on the official developer portal or your provider’s docs page. In Bark, you can follow the integration guide in the Integrations section to start connecting.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
