Automate publishing across platforms without writing code.
Keep content in sync across apps in real time.
Control SEO-friendly slugs and metadata from a single workflow.
This glossary covers API, endpoints, authentication, and common workflows for the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
An API is a set of rules that lets apps communicate and exchange data securely.
A specific URL that performs a function when called with a HTTP method like GET or POST.
The process of verifying identity to access protected resources.
A URL-friendly version of a title used in links and SEO.
Capture form responses in APPNAME and publish as blog drafts via POST /blogs/posts.
Aggregate content from multiple sources and publish on a schedule through the blogs post endpoint.
When author details change in APPNAME, update the Blogs API author records.
Create a connected API key or OAuth connection for Blogs API within Zapier.
Run a quick test to ensure endpoints respond as expected (status 200).
Create a Zap that triggers on APPNAME data and publishes a blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
The Blogs API allows programmatic access to create, update, and retrieve blog content via endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. When used with the Zapier App Connector, you can automate blog workflows without writing code. This integration is designed to be beginner-friendly and scalable for teams.
Authenticate by creating a connected app in the Blogs API and selecting it in Zapier. The connector uses OAuth 2.0 tokens, which Zapier refreshes automatically. Ensure you grant the necessary scopes for reading and writing posts, categories, and authors.
The available endpoints include blog posts (GET, POST, PUT), slug checks (GET), categories (GET), and authors (GET). You can also manage email templates and schedules if needed for related workflows.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug uniqueness before creating a post. This helps prevent duplicates and SEO issues.
Set up a Zap that uses the Blogs API POST /blogs/posts to publish content. Include fields like title, content, and slug. You can map an APPNAME form submission to the post payload and trigger publish immediately or on a schedule.
Rate limits depend on your plan. If you exceed limits, the API will return error codes. Implement retries with exponential backoff and respect per‑minute quotas.
For SEO, consistently set slug, title, and meta fields. Use the slug endpoint to ensure uniqueness and keep metadata synchronized across posts via Zapier automations.
