Learn how to authorize your Zapier connection to the Blogs API, using API keys or OAuth credentials to securely fetch, create, and update posts.
In Zapier, create a new connection for the Blogs API by supplying credentials and selecting the needed scopes. This keeps your automation secure and auditable.
Key endpoints include creating and updating posts, retrieving post data, and checking URL slug availability. Not every endpoint is required for every workflow; pick the ones that fit your use case, such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Trigger: New post created in Blogs API triggers a publish action via Zapier.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to publish, GET /blogs/posts to read, and optionally share to CMS or social channels.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, author, slug, date
Trigger: Post updated in Blogs API.
Actions: Update post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and propagate changes to connected apps.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, lastModified

POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: authorId, categoryId, title, content, slug
Automate publishing and updates without writing code.

A quick reference to terminology you’ll encounter when integrating Blogs API with Zapier App Connector, including terms like API, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface—the rules that let Zapier talk to the Blogs API and move data between apps.
A specific URL path you call to read or modify data in the Blogs API.
An event in Blogs API that starts a Zapier workflow, such as a new post.
An operation performed by Zapier on the Blogs API, such as create or update a post.
Automatically generate drafts when calendar events occur, then route them to approval before publishing.
Publish to your CMS, social channels, and email newsletters as soon as posts go live.
Push bite-sized summaries to email campaigns, RSS feeds, or notification channels.
Generate or locate an API key in the Blogs API dashboard and copy it into Zapier.
Choose triggers such as new post and map fields to endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Run end-to-end tests, verify slug uniqueness, and flip the switch to deploy in Zapier.
The Blogs API supports API keys and OAuth for authentication, allowing secure access to read and modify blog data from Zapier. In your Zapier connection, choose the appropriate method (API key or OAuth), keep credentials confidential, and rotate keys regularly.
To publish a post, use the POST /blogs/posts endpoint and supply required fields like title and content. To update a post, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and map fields to your data source.
Yes, Zapier can update existing posts by calling PUT on the post ID. Ensure you include the postId and any changed fields in the payload.
No heavy code is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code setup. You can still use conditional logic and multi-step Zaps to extend your workflow.
Slug conflicts happen when two posts share the same slug. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check availability and ensure unique slugs before publishing.
Required scopes depend on endpoints used; for example, blogs/post.write and blogs/check-slug.readonly. Use the minimum necessary scopes and rotate permissions regularly.
The official API reference is in the Blogs API documentation on your developer portal. You can also view endpoints like GET /blogs/posts and POST /blogs/posts there.
