No coding is required. Use Zapier App Connector’s built-in triggers and actions to connect Blogs API to your workflows. You can map fields and set up multi-step zaps with clicks. For more advanced use, refer to the API docs for endpoints like GET /blogs/posts and POST /blogs/posts.
For a basic sync, you typically need POST /blogs/posts to create content, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts. You can also pull author and category data with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth, with scope control to limit access. Use secure storage in Zapier and rotate credentials regularly. Always follow best practices for storing secrets.
