Use the Blogs API credentials to authorize requests from your GHL workflow. Treat keys like passwords and rotate them regularly.
Authenticate CodeREADr requests with your CodeREADr API key and attach it to request headers when calling Blogs API endpoints.
Key endpoints involve creating and updating blog posts, checking slug existence, reading authors and categories, and supporting data flow between CodeREADr and Blogs API. Use the endpoints that fit your workflow, such as creating posts, updating posts, checking slugs, and retrieving categories or authors.
Trigger: a new CodeREADr item is detected and triggers a POST to /blogs/posts
Actions: map title, content, slug, author, and categories; set publish date and status
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author, categories
Trigger: CodeREADr record update triggers a PUT to /blogs/posts/:postId
Actions: update title, content, and tags
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: after publish, check slug exists via Blogs API
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; retry if missing; log results
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId

Coordinate posting windows between CodeREADr data and Blogs API scheduling
Keep blog content up to date by reflecting CodeREADr edits in Blogs API
Create API keys in both CodeREADr and Blogs API dashboards and store securely
Map fields between CodeREADr and Blogs API endpoints and set triggers
Test every flow, verify results in both apps, then enable the automation
To authenticate, use your Blogs API key in the Authorization header alongside the CodeREADr request, ensuring the key has the proper scope and is kept secret. Rotate keys regularly and limit access by IP or environment to reduce exposure.
For basic publishing, you typically need to POST to /blogs/posts to create posts, with fields like title, content, and slug. If you need to verify slug uniqueness before creation, you can use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and then proceed with the publish call.
Yes, you can update posts after publishing by sending a PUT request to /blogs/posts/:postId with the changed fields. If you change the slug, ensure the slug remains unique and update any internal references to the post URL.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the slug parameter to check existence. If the slug already exists, choose a new slug or adjust your title to generate a unique slug.
Common error codes include 400 (bad request), 401 (unauthorized), 403 (forbidden), 429 (rate limit), and 5xx server errors. Consult the response body for details and implement retry with backoff where appropriate.
Webhooks are optional depending on your workflow; you can rely on polling or push-based updates via webhooks. If supported, configure a webhook in Blogs API to push updates to your endpoint for real-time syncing.
API rate limits are documented in the Blogs API and CodeREADr docs and vary by plan. Implement throttling and exponential backoffs to stay within quotas and maintain reliability.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
