Use OAuth 2.0 and API keys to securely authenticate requests between the Blogs API and Rankr. Choose the method that fits your workflow and security requirements.
Set up your Rankr app to securely store API credentials and refresh tokens, using least-privilege scopes and regularly rotating secrets for ongoing security.
Key endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST blogs/posts, PUT blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, POST /emails/builder, GET /emails/schedule.
Trigger: When a Rankr draft is finalized, push to the Blogs API to create a new post.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness; update as needed with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, author_id, category_id
Trigger: Schedule in Rankr to publish via the Blogs API at a chosen time.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update scheduled publish time and status; retrieve post data as needed.
Method path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, publish_at, status
Trigger: when a blog post is updated in the Blogs API, sync metadata back to Rankr.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories to refresh metadata, PUT updates back to Rankr as needed.
Method path: GET /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, slug, last_updated
Time-saving automation that works directly in your browser with no custom code required.
Fast time-to-value through point-and-click integrations and visual workflow builders.
Error reduction via standardized data flows, consistent field mappings, and built-in validation.
Understand the terms and processes used to connect the Blogs API with Rankr and automate blog workflows.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action in the API.
Methods to verify identity and grant access, typically OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
A URL-friendly version of a blog post title used in the web address.
A blog entry created in your CMS or via the API.
Leverage the Blogs API to pull draft outlines from Rankr and generate publish-ready posts with consistent styling.
Automatically share new posts to connected social accounts after publishing via Rankr workflows.
Schedule a weekly digest of new posts via Rankr email builder and the Blogs API for consistent engagement.
In the Blogs API console, generate a client ID and secret, then securely store them in Rankr settings.
Add and map endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories, then test connectivity.
Run test requests, verify data mappings, handle errors, and enable automation in production.
The Blogs API supports both OAuth 2.0 and API key authentication. For ongoing, secure workflows, OAuth 2.0 with refresh tokens is recommended because it can rotate credentials automatically. If you prefer simpler setups, API keys with strict scoping can be used for read or write operations. Always store credentials securely in Rankr and limit permissions to the minimum necessary scope.
Essential endpoints for creating and updating blog posts include POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/:postId to read, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability. You may also need GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate metadata used in post creation.
Yes. You can schedule posts by setting a publish_at time when creating or updating a post via POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Verify time zones and ensure the publish action occurs within your marketing calendar. Always test scheduling in a sandbox before going live.
To ensure slug uniqueness, check the slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating a post. If the slug exists, modify it by adding a suffix or the post date. Keeping unique slugs helps protect SEO rankings and avoid content duplication.
Absolutely. The integration is designed for no-code setups using Rankr’s visual workflow builder. You can map fields, configure triggers, and test data flows without writing code. If your workflow grows, you can progressively add advanced automations.
Best practices include consistent field mapping (title, content, slug), validating data before publishing, aligning time zones, and handling errors gracefully with retries. Maintain a changelog of migrations and monitor endpoints for failures to minimize downtime.
You can view integration logs in Rankr’s dashboard, which show request and response details for each endpoint. Enable error notifications, review failed calls, and use the endpoint list to troubleshoot mapping or permission issues quickly.
