Blogs API supports API keys and OAuth for authentication. In the Zapier App Connector, you authorize the blog API connection and securely store your credentials. You can re-authorize if permissions change. The test mode in Zapier lets you verify responses before going live.
Yes. You can set up a Zap to create posts automatically when new content is added in another app. The Blogs API endpoint POST /blogs/posts is used for publishing. Ensure required fields are mapped correctly to avoid failures.
To create a post you use POST /blogs/posts; to update you use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You’ll typically need postId for updates and fields like title, content, slug, category_id, and author_id. Slug checks help prevent duplicates.
Slug existence can be checked using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If the slug exists, you can generate a new slug or update the existing post.
Rate limits depend on your plan and the Blogs API tier. Implement backoff and batching in Zapier to stay within limits and avoid throttling.
Yes. You can automatically map and set category_id and author_id during post creation or updates. This ensures metadata stays consistent across posts.
Use Zapier’s test feature to verify the connection and data mappings. When satisfied, enable the workflow and monitor logs for any mapping issues.
