Authorize your integration with GHL using the appropriate API credentials and scope for blog operations. Ensure the token has read and write access to blogs, posts, and related resources.
Disqus authentication requires an API key and secret from your Disqus developer account. Store credentials securely and rotate them periodically to protect your integration.
Useful endpoints for this integration include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: When a new blog post is published in Blogs API, automatically create a matching Disqus discussion thread.
Actions: Create the Disqus thread, attach post metadata, and link the threadId back to the post in Blogs API.
Methods/Paths: GET /blogs/posts to monitor posts; POST /blogs/posts to create; Disqus thread creation via a corresponding thread endpoint.
Key fields: postId, slug, title, authorId, disqusThreadId
Trigger: New comments or reactions on Disqus threads linked to a post.
Actions: Update Blogs API post analytics with commentsCount, latestComment, and engagement signals; surface in dashboards.
Paths: POST /blogs/posts to push summaries; GET /blogs/posts to fetch counts and engagement.
Key fields: postId, commentsCount, latestComment, latestCommenterName
Trigger: Disqus moderation events or tag updates to keep post taxonomy aligned.
Paths: PUT /blogs/categories and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for moderation and taxonomy updates.
Key fields: postId, categoryId, moderationStatus
Automate content publishing and discussion workflows without writing code.
Unify blog analytics with comment data for richer insights in a single dashboard.
Speed up moderation, publishing, and updates using API-driven rules.
A concise glossary of terms used in this guide and the steps to implement the integration.
Application Programming Interface: a set of endpoints you can call to programmatically manage blogs and discussions.
Specific URLs you call to perform actions in the GHL Blogs API and the Disqus integration.
A mechanism to notify your app when events occur, such as new posts or new comments.
The process of proving identity and authorizing access to API resources.
When readers comment on a post, automatically update the post’s engagement data in Blogs API and surface result metrics in your dashboards.
Create or update post tags and categories based on topics detected in Disqus conversations.
Receive real-time moderation alerts and sentiment signals to guide content decisions in Blogs API.
Create a GHL API key and a Disqus API key, then configure redirect URLs and secure storage for credentials.
Map Blogs API endpoints to Disqus events (posts, comments, and categories) and set up webhooks where available.
Run test posts and sample comments to verify data flow, error handling, and performance before going live.
No advanced coding skills are strictly required for a basic setup. You can start with key webhooks and simple data mappings to sync blog posts and their associated comments between the Blogs API and Disqus. Use Graphs or dashboards to visualize results as you validate the integration. If you do write code, keep it lightweight and modular to simplify maintenance.
For a starter integration, focus on essential endpoints like GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify unique slugs. Also map GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata. Expand gradually as your needs grow.
Authenticate to the Blogs API with your GHL API credentials and ensure the correct scopes are granted for the actions you perform. Authenticate to Disqus using your API key/secret, and securely store credentials. Implement token refresh and error handling to keep the connection healthy.
Yes. You can publish or sync posts across platforms by coordinating API calls and webhooks. Maintain a single source of truth in Blogs API for post content and Disqus for discussions, and mirror outcomes across systems with id mappings.
Use built-in dashboards or custom logs to monitor sync status, success rates, and error details. Implement retry logic and alerting so that failures are detected and resolved quickly.
Typical fields include postId, slug, title, content, authorId, and categories for posts; and threadId, commentId, authorName, and createdAt for comments. Align these fields with the endpoints you call and ensure consistent data types.
API rate limits vary by plan. Check the GHL and Disqus developer portals for current quotas and best practices to avoid hitting limits. Implement exponential backoff and graceful degradation in your integration.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
