Authenticate your GHL Blogs API integration by generating an API key, granting the necessary permissions, and securely storing credentials in Rankr
Authorize Rankr to access your GHL data using OAuth or API keys, then test access to the Blogs endpoints
GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: When a new draft is created in Rankr, automatically publish the post to GHL using POST /blogs/posts
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs
Methods used: POST, PUT, GET for the listed endpoints
Key fields: title, slug, content, category_id, author_id, publish_date
Trigger: Updates in Rankr categories or authors propagate to GHL via GET endpoints
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to keep data aligned across systems
Methods: GET for categories and authors, plus supporting GET /blogs/posts for cross-reference
Fields: category_id, category_name, author_id, author_name
Trigger: Schedule based publishing in Rankr triggers GHL POST/PUT calls to reflect timing
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs before publish
Methods: POST, PUT, GET for the relevant endpoints
Fields: publish_date, status, slug, title, content
Automate content workflows without writing a single line of code by connecting Rankr to GHL and using the official endpoints
Keep blog categories and authors in sync across Rankr and GHL to avoid duplicate data entry
Speed up publishing with scheduled releases and automated status updates
Key terms and processes you will encounter when linking GHL with Rankr for blogs include endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and automation workflows
Application Programming Interface that lets Rankr and GHL communicate and exchange data
A specific URL path that performs an action in the API
A notification mechanism that sends data in real time when something changes
A piece of content published on a blog
Use Rankr to populate blog templates with data from GHL, reducing manual edits
Automatically post to blog, newsletter, and social channels when a post goes live
Coordinate publication dates with rankings and campaigns in Rankr
Obtain API keys from GHL and securely store them in Rankr
Add a new GHL connection using the Blogs API and test the connection
Run test requests to ensure data flows correctly
The Blogs API in GHL provides programmatic access to blog posts categories and authors. It lets you create update and fetch blog content from external systems. This endpoint set enables automated publishing and data synchronization with Rankr. You can use it to drive your content calendar from Rankr.
A developer or partner account is typically required to obtain API keys and configure OAuth or token-based authentication. You will need to set permissions for the Blog endpoints you intend to use. Follow the security best practices to protect credentials.
Authenticate Rankr with GHL by registering Rankr as an OAuth client or by supplying an API key depending on your setup. Then test a lightweight request to a read endpoint such as GET /blogs/posts to confirm connectivity and permissions.
Yes. You can synchronize authors and categories by polling GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories and propagating changes between GHL and Rankr. Automated jobs can keep both systems aligned without manual edits.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. If you hit limits implement exponential backoff and retries with idempotent requests. Cache results where possible and batch operations when feasible.
Test endpoints first in a staging environment using sample data. Use GET endpoints to verify reads and a small set of posts for writes. Review responses and error messages to adjust mapping before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
