You can set up this integration with no code using Zapier App Connector, which handles API calls and data mapping. Some basic configuration (credentials, scopes, and endpoint selection) is still required for a successful connection.
The primary endpoints include creating and updating posts, validating slugs, and retrieving authors and categories. You can additionally fetch lists of posts, categories, and authors as needed for your workflow.
Use standard OAuth tokens or API keys with least-privilege scopes. Ensure you store tokens securely and refresh them before expiry to maintain uninterrupted access.
Test the connection with sample requests, check authentication headers, inspect responses, and use retry logic and logging to diagnose failures.
Yes. You can trigger real-time publishing or scheduled updates from Bonsai to the Blogs API by mapping Bonsai events to POST or PUT actions in the Blogs API.
Logs, dashboards, and error messages are available in your integration platform. Use them to identify failed requests, auth errors, and data-mapping issues.
No coding is required to set up the connection. The integration can be configured via no-code automation tools, though some setup is needed for credentials and mappings.
