Access to Blogs API requires secure credentials. Use an API key or OAuth token with the scope defined (emails/builder.readonly in this example) and configure Bubble’s API Connector to pass the token with each request.
In Bubble, set up the API Connector with the Blogs API credentials, choose the appropriate auth method (API key or OAuth), and store tokens securely for all calls to create, read, update, or delete posts and metadata.
Key endpoints you may use in this integration include: POST /blogs/posts (create posts), PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update posts), POST /blogs/post-update.write (update post metadata), GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (slug checks), GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors (fetch categories and authors), GET /blogs/categories (read category data), GET /blogs/authors (read author data). Additional endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists help manage publishing and slug validation.
Trigger: When a new post is finished in Bubble, push to Blogs API to create a blog post using POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: create the post, set slug, attach author and category IDs, and publish status.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author_id, category_id, publish_date
Trigger: Retrieve categories and authors from Blogs API (GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors) to populate Bubble dropdowns.
Actions: store in Bubble’s database, refresh dropdowns, and map IDs to Bubble records.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
category_id, category_name; author_id, author_name
Trigger: When a post is updated in Bubble, call PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and update metadata with POST /blogs/post-update.write as needed.
Actions: update title/content/slug and push SEO fields; reflect changes in Bubble data.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, seo_title, seo_description

This glossary defines core terms such as API, endpoints, authentication, slug, and webhooks as they relate to Bubble and the Blogs API.
A set of rules that allows Bubble to talk to the Blogs API and exchange data.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a function of the Blogs API.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used to build the blog URL.
The method used to verify identity and authorize Bubble to access the Blogs API (e.g., API keys or OAuth).
When a post is created in Blogs API, Bubble can generate social snippets and queue posts to your social channels for consistent branding.
Pull categories and authors from Blogs API to power an editorial calendar with deadlines, approvers, and status flags.
Automatically align post SEO fields using the Blogs API data and Bubble’s UI to improve search performance.
Add the base URL, authentication header, and required endpoints (POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors).
Map Blog API fields to Bubble fields (title, content, author, category) and store IDs for relationships.
Run tests in development, validate data flow, monitor API responses, and then deploy to production.
In many setups you won’t need a separate developer account; you will need API credentials issued by the Blogs API to authorize requests from Bubble. Store these credentials securely in Bubble’s API Connector and grant the necessary scopes for your actions. If you’re using OAuth, complete the OAuth flow to obtain a token that Bubble can refresh automatically.
The Blogs API commonly supports API keys or OAuth tokens. In Bubble, configure the API Connector to pass the token with each request and select the appropriate scope for your actions (e.g., read or write access). Keep credentials secure and rotate them periodically.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts for creating posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors for reference data, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. You may also use POST /blogs/post-update.write for metadata updates.
Yes. You can fetch categories and authors into Bubble via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors and map them to Bubble fields. This enables dynamic dropdowns and author assignment when creating posts.
Test in Bubble’s development environment by creating sample posts and verifying the API responses. Use Bubble’s debug tools and API logs to confirm data is correctly transferred and mapped. Once confirmed, switch to production with monitoring in place.
Slug conflicts can be checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If a slug already exists, generate a new slug in Bubble and re-check. You can also use the blogs/check-slug.readonly endpoint as a guard before publishing.
Most APIs have rate limits; implement simple retries with exponential backoff and respect the API’s quota. If you anticipate high volume, request a higher limit from the API provider or optimize calls to batch operations where possible.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
