Authenticate with your Blogs API credentials. Use API keys supplied by the Blogs API and include them in request headers. Restrict access to the minimum required scopes for security.
Rankr authorizes via OAuth2 and stores tokens securely. When tokens expire, refresh tokens automatically and reauthorize if needed.
Key endpoints used include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories (list), etc.
Trigger: when a new Rankr post is created
Actions: call POST /blogs/posts with title, content, slug, category, and author
Method: POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, excerpt, category, authorId
Trigger: Rankr post draft requires slug check
Actions: call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to confirm slug availability; proceed accordingly
Method: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Trigger: Rankr post updated
Actions: call PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with updated fields
Method: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categories
No-code automation: publish and update blog posts between Rankr and your Blogs API without writing code.
Unified workflow: manage posts, categories, and authors from one place.
Faster content iteration with automated checks and field mapping.
Learn the key terms used in this integration: endpoints, triggers, actions, and payloads, plus how they fit into the flow between Rankr and the Blogs API.
An API is a set of rules that lets two software systems talk to each other. In this guide, the Blogs API exposes endpoints you call from Rankr.
A slug is the URL-friendly string that identifies a blog post in the blog’s URL. It must be unique among posts.
An endpoint is a specific URL on the API that performs an action, such as creating a post or checking a slug.
Payload is the data you send in a request, including title, content, slug, and metadata.
Whenever Rankr drafts a post, automatically create a new blog post in the Blogs API with mapped fields and SEO-friendly slug.
When a Rankr post is updated, push changes to existing Blogs API post via PUT and keep titles, slugs, and content aligned.
Map Rankr authors and categories to the Blogs API so editors and writers collaborate smoothly across systems.
In Blogs API, generate an API key or OAuth client. In Rankr, set up the connection and securely store tokens.
Define which Rankr fields map to post fields (title, content, slug, category) and set triggers for new or updated posts.
Run tests with sample data, verify slug uniqueness, and flip the switch to live.
No coding is required for the basic connection. Use a no-code integration like the GHL apps platform to connect Rankr with the Blogs API. The setup guides walk you through API keys, field mapping, and test runs. If you need deeper customization, consider adding lightweight scripts or webhooks.
The Blogs API uses API keys or OAuth for authentication. Rankr stores tokens securely and refreshes them as needed. For production, rotate credentials periodically and apply least-privilege scopes to minimize risk.
Common endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to publish, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update an existing post. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors for related data.
Call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the desired slug. If the slug exists, adjust the slug or update the post. If not, proceed with creation. Implement automatic retry logic if needed.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update an existing post from Rankr. Make sure you pass the postId and synchronized fields such as title, content, and slug.
Rate limits depend on your Blogs API plan. Plan for bursts when publishing multiple posts or syncing large updates. Implement backoff and retries in your workflow.
Example payloads and field mappings are available in your Blogs API docs and the integration guide. Start with a base map (title, content, slug) and expand to include excerpt, categories, and author.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
