How to Connect Rankr to Blogs API

Bridge Blogs API with Rankr for automated publishing, analytics, and outreach.

How to connect Blogs API to Rankr in minutes

This guide walks you through authenticating, choosing endpoints, and setting up a no‑code workflow that lets Rankr trigger blog actions via the Blogs API.

Blogs API Authentication

Use API keys or OAuth depending on your setup. Store credentials securely and rotate keys every 90 days.

Rankr App Authentication

Rankr authenticates with the GHL platform using a secure OAuth flow and a generated API token. Keep tokens secret and use scoped access.

Core Endpoints Used in This Integration

GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors

Top 3 Connections between Blogs API and Rankr

1) New Blog Post Trigger → Publish via POST /blogs/posts

When Rankr detects a new blog draft, push the payload to Blogs API to create a post.

Action: Use POST /blogs/posts to create the post with title, content, slug, and categories; map author and publish date.

POST /blogs/posts

title, content, slug, category_ids, author_id

2) Blog Post Update Sync → Update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId

Rankr detects edits to a published post and pushes updates to Blogs API.

Action: Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to apply new title, content, or slug values.

PUT /blogs/posts/:postId

postId, title, content, slug

3) Slug Validation Before Publish → GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists then POST

Before creating a post, check if the slug already exists to avoid duplicates.

Action: If slug exists, prompt for a new slug; otherwise proceed with POST /blogs/posts.

GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts

slug, title, content

No‑Code Benefits of Connecting Blogs API with Rankr

Faster time-to-value with drag-and-drop automation and ready-made workflows.

Step 1: Generate and secure credentials

Create an API key or OAuth client in GHL for Blogs API and store credentials in a secure vault.

Step 2: Map endpoints and fields

Define mappings for title, content, slug, and categories to Rankr workflows and set up necessary callbacks.

Step 3: Test, monitor, and deploy

Run test posts, verify responses, watch for errors in logs, and deploy to production with alerts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What authentication method should I use?

You can use either API keys or OAuth to authenticate with the Blogs API, depending on your security requirements. Store credentials securely, rotate them regularly, and apply least-privilege access. For no-code workflows, OAuth with scoped tokens is usually the smoothest path. Always sandbox credentials before going live.

To publish posts, you typically need endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and possibly related endpoints for metadata (categories, author, and slug checks). Map Rankr triggers to the post creation and ensure required fields such as title, content, and slug are provided. If updating existing posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId is used.

Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check if a slug is already in use before creating a post. If the slug exists, you can prompt for a new slug or automatically generate a unique variant, then proceed with POST /blogs/posts.

Absolutely. This integration is designed for no‑code use with visual builders and triggers. You can connect, map fields, and automate workflows without writing code. Advanced users can extend with custom logic if needed.

Testing involves running a dry run with a test post, validating API responses, and checking logs for errors. Use a staging environment, verify field mappings, and confirm that posts appear in your Blogs API and Rankr workflows as expected.

Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. Typical constraints apply to read/write operations. If you anticipate high volume, implement batching, exponential backoff, and error retries, and monitor usage in the dashboard.

The endpoints are listed in the Core Endpoints section of this page. You can also reference the API docs in your developer console for the exact paths, methods, and required headers. This page provides a concise overview and mappings for the integration.
