Authenticate your Blogs API integration by issuing an API key or OAuth token, then grant Crunchbase the requested access scope to read and write blog data.
To connect Crunchbase to Blogs API, enable API access in Crunchbase, generate credentials, and securely store them for the integration. Test the connection from your dashboard.

No coding is required. This is a no-code integration that uses prebuilt actions and triggers. You configure the connection, map fields, and turn on automation. If you need custom logic, you can add conditional steps in your workflow, but for most users, the templates cover common use cases.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. These endpoints enable content creation, updates, slug checks, and taxonomy lookups.
Yes. You can schedule posts at daily or weekly intervals by using a time-based trigger and the Blogs API’s create/post endpoints. This lets you publish regular digest posts from Crunchbase data.
Authentication is typically handled with API keys or OAuth tokens. Store credentials securely, and configure your connector to attach the token to each request. Test the connection to confirm access.
Common mappings include: Crunchbase name -> blog post title, description -> excerpt, website_url -> source link, primary_category -> tag or category, funding_rounds -> highlight metrics.
Webhooks are supported where the API and connector allow. When enabled, Crunchbase events can trigger automatic posts or updates in your CMS. Review the scopes and endpoint availability to ensure compatibility.
Rate limits depend on your API plan. Design your flows with batching, caching, and exponential backoff to avoid hitting limits. Use idempotent operations where possible.
