The Blogs API is a scalable interface that enables programmatic access to blog content, authors, and categories. Zapier App Connector lets you automate those workflows without code. This integration lets you push and pull blog data between Blogs API and your connected apps in a secure, no code way.
Key endpoints include GET /blogs/categories POST /blogs/posts PUT /blogs/posts/:postId GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and GET /blogs/authors. You may also use the emails endpoints to enrich notifications and update subscribers.
Yes. By mapping the author and category data you can auto create or update related items in the destination app. This helps Big Cartel storefronts stay aligned with your blog content.
No coding is required for the core integration. Use the no code Zapier App Connector to configure triggers and actions. For advanced needs some scripting may help.
Authentication uses OAuth or API tokens with scoped access. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys periodically using environment controls in Zapier.
Use Zapier’s built in test feature to run triggers and actions with sample data. Review task history and logs to verify success and debug issues.
Yes. Zapier provides run history and endpoint logs in the Task History panel. You can filter by date status and endpoint to diagnose issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
