Authenticate the Blogs API using API keys with defined scopes. For read/write blog data, grant the blogs/post and blogs/check-slug scopes, and ensure secure storage of your credentials.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 to securely connect to the Blogs API. Authorize the connection from the Apps dashboard and store tokens securely for automated workflows.
Endpoints you can leverage include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, etc. Use the endpoints appropriate for your automation goals (content creation, publishing, scheduling, and analytics).

In your Zapier App Connector dashboard, generate API keys for Blogs API and select the scopes you need.
Run a quick test to fetch posts and verify data mapping.
Create a workflow with trigger and actions, then turn it on for automation.
Blogs API is a structured interface that exposes endpoints to manage blog content, categories, authors, and related data. It enables you to read, create, update, and delete blog resources from external tools without writing custom code. This makes it ideal for automating publishing workflows and syncing content across platforms. If you’re new to the Blogs API, start with read-only operations to verify access before enabling write permissions.
Authentication is handled via API keys and OAuth scopes. Generate an API key with the necessary scopes (for example, blogs/post for creating posts). In Zapier App Connector, use OAuth 2.0 flow where available, or securely store and rotate keys. Always follow the principle of least privilege and limit access to only the resources required for your automation.
The endpoint suite includes endpoints for blog posts, categories, authors, URL slug validation, and more. For example, GET /blogs/posts retrieves posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId updates a post, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists checks slug availability. Refer to your integration maps to determine which endpoints to call for a given workflow.
Yes. You can automate creation and publishing of posts, update SEO metadata, and trigger cross-posting to social channels or newsletters. Use triggers on post creation or update and define the appropriate actions (e.g., post to social, notify teams, or update analytics).
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides no-code triggers and actions that map directly to Blogs API endpoints. You will configure authentication, data mappings, and basic logic through the UI to build powerful automations.
Testing is done via the connector’s test feature. Validate authentication, fetch sample posts, and verify field mappings. Adjust error handling and retries within Zapier to ensure reliable runs.
API keys and OAuth scopes are created in your Blogs API account. Store them securely in Zapier App Connector’s credentials, and apply the needed scopes (read, write) for each workflow. Regularly review permissions to maintain security.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
