To securely access the Blogs API, create an API key or OAuth token and configure it in Zapier.
Zapier uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys to verify your connection with the Blogs API, keeping credentials encrypted.
Key endpoints include: GET /blogs/posts (read posts), POST /blogs/posts (create post), PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update post), GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (slug check), GET /blogs/categories (categories), GET /blogs/authors (authors). Additional actions include: POST /blogs/posts (create), POST /blogs/posts (publish with scheduling), GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (validate slug).
Trigger on new posts by polling GET /blogs/posts to pull fresh content into Zapier.
Actions include create post (POST /blogs/posts), update post (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug validation (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists).
Methods and paths: GET /blogs/posts for reading; POST /blogs/posts for creating posts.
Key fields: id, title, slug, content, authorId, categoryId.
Trigger on edits or scheduled publishing via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and POST /blogs/posts with a publishDate.
Methods and paths: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; POST /blogs/posts with publishDate.
Fields: postId, publishDate, status, categoryId, authorId.
Trigger on slug checks using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: check slug availability, fetch categories (GET /blogs/categories) and authors (GET /blogs/authors).
Methods and paths: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Fields: slug, categoryId, authorId.
Automate publishing workflows and reduce manual data entry across platforms.
Centralize content management with unified triggers, actions, and mappings.
Accelerate go-to-market with templates, checks, and error handling built into Zapier.
This section explains API concepts, endpoints, triggers, and actions you’ll use with Zapier.
Application Programming Interface: a set of endpoints you call to interact with Blogs data.
A specific URL path that performs a defined operation (such as GET /blogs/posts).
A mechanism for real-time data delivery from one app to another.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a blog post.
Create a zap that triggers on a new blog post and automatically publishes to Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
Queue posts for future dates and push reminders to a team calendar.
Send summaries of new posts to your email newsletter service automatically.
Enter your API key or OAuth credentials and authorize the connection in Zapier.
Select the endpoints you’ll use and align data fields for your zaps.
Create automated workflows and verify end-to-end functionality.
No heavy coding is required. Use Zapier App Connector to connect the Blogs API with visual builders and prebuilt actions. You’ll map fields and set up triggers without writing code. If you’re new to APIs, start with a simple read (GET) and create (POST) workflow to see data flow in Zapier. Advanced automations can leverage updates (PUT) and slug validations as your needs grow.
You’ll typically use API keys or OAuth tokens. In Zapier, you authenticate once, store credentials securely, and let Zapier refresh tokens if supported. This keeps your credentials encrypted and your workflows running smoothly.
Essential endpoints for publishing posts include GET /blogs/posts (read), POST /blogs/posts (create), and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update). Slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) help prevent conflicts before publish.
Use the slug exists endpoint to verify availability. If a slug is taken, you can modify it or generate a new slug within your zap. This prevents duplicate posts and ensures clean URLs.
Yes. Zapier can schedule posts by including a publishDate in a POST /blogs/posts request or by using a separate scheduling action. This enables automated publication at your preferred times.
Rate limits depend on your API plan. If you hit limits, implement retries with backoff in Zapier and stagger requests. Consider batching or distributing calls across multiple zaps to stay within limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
