The Blogs API is the GHL API that enables you to manage blog content programmatically. It includes endpoints for posts, categories, authors, and slug checks. The integration with Cleft lets you automate content workflows without manual data entry. You’ll be able to create, update, and schedule content using predefined endpoints. Use the endpoint list to map Cleft fields to blog content fields and ensure your authentication tokens are kept secure.
No extensive coding is required. The combination of the GHL API and the Cleft app connector supports low-code automation. You’ll configure API keys or OAuth tokens, map triggers and actions, and test in a sandbox before going live.
Essential endpoints for publishing posts include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs. You may also use GET /blogs/categories to tag and classify content.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check if a slug already exists for a post. If the slug is taken, you can adjust the title or slug field and re-check. This helps avoid duplicate URLs.
All data transmitted between Cleft and Blogs API should be encrypted in transit (TLS). Use secure storage for tokens and rotate credentials regularly. Limit scope to the minimum required for operations.
Yes. You can schedule posts for future publication in Blogs API and have Cleft trigger those postings at the correct times. This can align with your editorial calendar.
