Access to the Blogs API is secured via modern auth (OAuth 2.0 and API keys). Start by obtaining your client credentials in your GHL developer dashboard, then exchange tokens for authorizing requests to the Blogs API.
To securely connect Contractor Foreman to Blogs API, configure an OAuth 2.0 flow or generate a dedicated API key from your Contractor Foreman settings, then store credentials safely and rotate them regularly.

A specific URL path that performs a defined action in the API.
Security mechanism (OAuth 2.0 or API keys) used to verify identity and grant access to API resources.
Defining how fields in Blogs API map to fields in Contractor Foreman so data flows correctly.
Controls on how many requests can be sent per minute/hour to prevent overload.
When a new blog post goes live, automatically generate a concise project brief in Contractor Foreman linking the post and assigning it to the relevant team.

Attach relevant blog posts to new leads to inform outreach and speed up qualification.
Obtain OAuth credentials or an API key from both systems and authorize the connection in the integration setup.

Run tests with sample data, verify data integrity, and then enable the automation for production.
The Blogs API lets you read, create, update blog posts, manage categories, authors, and check slug availability. This enables you to surface fresh content in Contractor Foreman and tie it to specific projects. To get started, create a developer app in Blogs API, obtain credentials, and configure the connection in Contractor Foreman. Once authenticated, you can map fields and build automated workflows without coding.
Yes. You can map title, excerpt, author, publishedDate, and slug to corresponding fields in Contractor Foreman. Use the mapping settings in your integration to select which fields sync and how updates propagate (e.g., post edits reflect in project notes).
Most integrations use OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys. Store credentials securely, rotate them regularly, and refresh tokens before expiry. If you use API keys, keep them in a secure vault and restrict scopes to limit access.
Rate limits apply to prevent overload. Plan your schedules to stay within quotas and implement retries with exponential backoff. If you anticipate high activity, stagger workflows or batch updates to reduce requests.
Essential endpoints include GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and POST /blogs/posts for creating content. You may also leverage GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and GET /blogs/categories for validation and organization. Emails endpoints can be used for notifications when content changes.
Check API response codes, error messages, and debug logs in both Blogs API and Contractor Foreman. If issues persist, gather request IDs, timestamps, and steps to reproduce, then contact support with this information.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
