Authenticate your Blogs API connection by generating an API key or using OAuth, then securely store credentials in the integration settings. Use the provided credentials to authorize requests to the Blog endpoints listed in this guide.
Authenticate the Common Ninja side by granting access to your Blogs API via OAuth or API key, enabling events and data flow between apps in a secure manner.
Key Blogs API endpoints used in this integration include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/post-update.write. Additional endpoints such as GET /emails/builder or GET /emails/schedule are part of broader integrations but not required for the core Blogs API workflow. This list focuses on content creation, retrieval, and organization.
Trigger: a new blog draft is created in Common Ninja, which then pushes to Blogs API to create a post.
Actions: create a blog post, update content, set slug, and optionally publish or schedule. Maintain synchronization of title, content, and metadata.
Method paths: POST /blogs/posts to create; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Key fields: title, content, slug, category, author, status, published_at.
Trigger: when a new category or author is added in Blogs API, update Common Ninja catalogs.
Actions: create or update categories and authors in Common Ninja; map IDs for consistent attribution.
Method paths: GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors (read-only for syncing).
Key fields: name, slug, description (categories); author_id, name, bio (authors).
Trigger: on a schedule or demand, fetch latest posts from Blogs API for dashboard display.
Actions: pull posts via GET /blogs/posts, summarize content, and push metrics or highlights to Common Ninja dashboards.
Method paths: GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/post-update.write.
Key fields: postId, title, slug, excerpt, updated_at.
Create powerful automation without writing code. Trigger posts, updates, and categorization directly from Common Ninja workflows.
Centralize content management and dashboards in a single no‑code interface, reducing switching between apps.
Gain real-time visibility into blog performance with live data visualizations and quick edits.
This section defines API concepts used in the integration: endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and how webhooks or scheduled fetches drive no‑code automations.
An Application Programming Interface that enables software components to communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL path in an API that performs an action or returns data.
The process of proving identity to authorize access to an API.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a post or page.
Use Common Ninja triggers to generate blog drafts from templates and publish via the Blogs API for consistent publishing.
Automatically pull authors and categories from Blogs API into Common Ninja to keep attribution and filtering aligned.
Show post metrics (views, status, publication date) in a centralized Common Ninja dashboard for quick insights.
Generate API keys or set up OAuth for Blogs API and connect them in Common Ninja settings to establish trust between apps.
Match blog fields (title, content, slug, category, author) to corresponding fields in Common Ninja to ensure correct data flow.
Test the connection with sample posts, set up triggers, and enable automation for ongoing syncing and publishing.
You will primarily work with Blogs API endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. These endpoints enable you to fetch, create, update, and validate posts, while GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help keep your data organized. No code is required to perform basic syncing and publishing through Common Ninja’s automation features.
No deep coding is required. The integration is designed for no‑code workflows. You will configure API keys or OAuth in the Blogs API, then connect them in Common Ninja and use visual mapping to align fields. Advanced users can add custom logic with webhooks or scheduled tasks if needed, but it is optional for standard use.
Yes. You can schedule or automate publishing by triggering posts from Common Ninja to Blogs API (and vice versa for updates). Use time-based triggers or event-driven actions to keep content fresh without manual intervention.
Authentication is handled on both sides: generate and store a Blogs API key or configure OAuth, and authenticate in Common Ninja to authorize data exchange. Ensure scopes match the endpoints you plan to use. Security best practices apply, such as rotating keys regularly.
Rate limits vary by endpoint. In general, plan for reasonable polling intervals and batch updates where possible. If you exceed limits, implement backoff logic and stagger requests to avoid interruptions in the content flow.
Map fields with clear data types: titles as strings, content as rich text, slug as URL-friendly text, and IDs for authors and categories. Validate slug availability before creation to avoid duplicates and ensure consistency across both apps.
Start with essential mappings (title, content, slug) and expand to categories, authors, and status. Use sample posts to test how fields render in Common Ninja dashboards, then refine mappings based on live data.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
