Key elements include endpoints, authentication, and data mapping; the process covers authorization, field mapping, testing, and deployment with error handling.
Definition: An Application Programming Interface that enables software systems to communicate with each other.
Definition: A URL-safe, human-friendly identifier used in blog post URLs.
Definition: An operation that creates a new blog post in the Blogs API.
Definition: Verifying identity to authorize API access and protect data; typically via API keys, tokens, or OAuth.
Configure a trigger in Deep Lawn to push ready-to-publish drafts to Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts.
Automate periodic content refresh on Blogs API with scheduled tasks from Deep Lawn.
Automatically sync new categories and authors from Deep Lawn to the Blogs API mapping endpoints.
Obtain a valid API key and set the required scope for Blogs API.
Configure field mappings for title, content, slug, category, and author; specify endpoints for create and update.
Run test posts, review logs, and tune error handling and retries.
You can authenticate using API keys or OAuth tokens depending on the Blogs API setup. Ensure tokens are stored securely and rotated regularly. This helps protect access and keep data secure. In practice, follow the provider’s recommended security measures and store credentials in a vault.
Required endpoints typically include creating posts and slug checks. Use POST /blogs/posts to publish, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability. You may also need endpoints for updates and lookups like PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors.
Yes, you can update posts after creation using the update endpoint. Ensure postId remains consistent and map any fields that may change such as title, content, or slug. Validate changes with test posts to avoid conflicts.
Slug availability is typically checked via a slug check endpoint like GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug is taken, adjust the slug or title to generate a unique URL. Recheck until a free slug is returned.
No coding is required if you use a no-code automation tool to connect Deep Lawn and Blogs API. Configure triggers, actions, and field mappings in the UI without writing code. Advanced scenarios may still benefit from custom scripts.
If an API call fails, review the error response and retry with backoff. Set up retries and proper logging to prevent data loss and help debugging. Implement alerting for persistent failures.
Authors and categories can be mapped by fetching their lists from GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. Then apply IDs or names to posts during creation or updates to maintain consistency.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
