The Blogs API is the RESTful interface used to manage blog content within the GHL integration. It lets you create, update, and publish posts, as well as organize content by categories and authors. You can trigger posts from Clay clay-earth and push updates back to your blog. This creates a seamless content pipeline without manual steps. The API uses standard HTTP methods and JSON for data exchange, which makes it easy to map fields in your no-code workflows.
No traditional coding is required. The integration is designed for no-code automation, using visual builders to map endpoints, triggers, and actions. You configure the endpoints you need, define the data fields, and let the platform handle the API calls. If deeper customization is needed, you can extend with custom scripts, but it isn’t required for core publishing workflows.
For basic publishing, you typically need POST /blogs/posts to create posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slugs. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata. Optional endpoints include PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates and GET /blogs/categories to list categories.
