Authenticate to the Blogs API using your API credentials from GHL. Use secure tokens and grant only the scopes needed for emails and blog publishing.
Ezekia authenticates with the Blogs API via an API key or OAuth token, stored securely in the app settings. Ensure the token has the necessary scopes for blog publishing, slug checks, and category management.
Core endpoints used with Ezekia and the Blogs API include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, 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, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. These endpoints cover email templates, scheduling, and blog content creation, updates, reads, slug checks, categories, and authors.

Faster content publishing without writing code.

A set of defined rules and endpoints that allow Ezekia to interact with the Blogs API to create, read, update, and delete blog content.
An HTTP method used to create new resources, such as a new blog post in Blogs API.
An HTTP method used to retrieve data from Blogs API, such as post details or category lists.
An HTTP method used to update existing resources, such as editing a blog post in Blogs API.
Use Ezekia triggers to generate blog topics and auto-create posts in Blogs API with drafts ready for review.
Pull long-form content and publish repurposed versions through Blogs API from Ezekia.
Automatically generate SEO-friendly slugs and meta descriptions during publish.
Register the Ezekia app in your GHL account and generate an API token with appropriate scopes.
Enter the token in Ezekia settings and test the connection.
Run a test publish to ensure data maps correctly and posts appear in Blogs API.
No coding is required for most common workflows. Ezekia’s no-code connectors can map fields from Ezekia to Blogs API endpoints, enabling automated publishing and updates. For advanced custom logic, light scripting can be used, but it’s not necessary for basic publish flows. Tip: start with a simple post creation flow to validate credentials and field mappings before expanding to updates and reads.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts for creating, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors for metadata. Optional helpers like GET /blogs/posts/:postId can be used to verify published content. Structure your mappings to include title, content, slug, and metadata (categories, author).
Use token-based authentication with minimal scopes required for your workflow. Store tokens securely in Ezekia and rotate them per your security policy. Regularly test the connection and monitor for expired tokens or scope changes. Always use HTTPS and avoid embedding tokens in client-side code.
Yes. You can plan and schedule posts by triggering drafts in Ezekia and publishing them via POST /blogs/posts at a future time. You can also sync scheduled times from Ezekia to the Blogs API to automate publishing. Ensure time zones are consistent across both systems to avoid mismatches.
Slug checks prevent duplicate or conflicting URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify a slug before create or update. If a slug exists, you can generate a new slug variant or update an existing post accordingly. Maintain a slug policy (lowercase, hyphens) to ensure consistency.
Yes. You can retrieve lists of categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. Use this data to enrich posts during creation or updates, ensuring accurate metadata and proper routing for readers. Consider caching these lists to reduce API calls during high-volume publishing.
Implement exponential backoff retries for transient errors and log failures with context (postId, slug, endpoint). Use idempotent operations when possible (POST with upsert behavior) to avoid duplicates. Set up alerting for repeated failures and keep a rollback plan for content changes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
