Access to the Blogs API requires a valid API key with appropriate scope. Generate a key in your developer console and apply scopes like blogs and emails as needed to keep requests secure.
In Zapier, connect the Blogs API by supplying the API key in the connection settings or completing OAuth if required. This keeps automation data secure across triggers and actions.
Key endpoints you’ll likely use include: GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET emails/schedule, GET blogs/post.write, GET blogs/post-update.write, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.

Test the workflow end-to-end and enable it for automation.
No coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides triggers and actions that let you connect Blogs API without writing code. You configure the connection once, then build automations with a few clicks. If you run into auth issues, double-check that the API key has the right scope and is active.
For basic publishing you typically need endpoints like GET /blogs/categories, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. Map fields like title, content, and slug to your target app.
Yes. You can manage authors and categories using endpoints such as GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then create or update records via POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with associated author_id and category data.
Yes. Use OAuth or API keys as described in the authentication section. Ensure the connection uses HTTPS and scopes are limited to read/write as needed.
In Zapier, use the Test Connection feature or trigger a sample post. Check that the response codes are 200 and that the data maps correctly to your fields.
Yes. Most changes can be reversed by updating the post or deleting it via the corresponding endpoints. Keep track of IDs so you can roll back if necessary.
API rate limits vary by plan. Refer to the Blogs API docs for current quotas, and consider implementing throttling in your Zapier workflows to stay within limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
