FanBasis connects to the Blogs API using a secure API key or OAuth token with the required scopes. For reading templates and scheduling content, use the scope emails/builder.readonly. For creating or updating posts, ensure you have the appropriate post write permissions (blogs/post.write, blogs/posts). Include the token in the Authorization header as Bearer
Configure FanBasis to securely store and use the API credentials from the Blogs API. Use a token refresh strategy if OAuth is supported, and test connectivity using endpoints like GET /blogs/authors or GET /blogs/categories.

Action: Rebuild the newsletter draft to reflect changes and re-send or re-schedule.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: New or updated categories/authors in the Blogs API.
Action: Update corresponding metadata in FanBasis so campaigns can target by category or author.

Automate content distribution without manual data entry.
Fast setup with pre-built endpoints and templates.
Scalable, consistent newsletters across posts and campaigns.
This glossary defines the core terms used in the Blogs API and FanBasis integration, covering HTTP methods, endpoints, and common data fields.
A programmable interface that allows FanBasis to request data from and act on the Blogs API.
An HTTP method that creates a new resource on the server, such as a blog post.
An HTTP method used to retrieve data from the server, such as lists of categories or authors.
A URL-safe string derived from a post title used in the permalink.
When a new blog post goes live in the Blogs API, automatically generate a ready-to-send email draft in FanBasis and schedule distribution.
Sync author and category fields to FanBasis to segment audiences and tailor messaging.
Publish blog post summaries to email, social, and a central FanBasis dashboard for multi-channel outreach.
Generate an API key in the Blogs API portal and note required scopes (for example, emails/builder.readonly).
Enter the API key in FanBasis settings, map endpoints to your workflows, and test connectivity.
Run test calls to fetch categories, authors, and optionally create a sample post to ensure end-to-end connectivity.
The required scopes depend on what you want to do. For reading templates and scheduling campaigns, use emails/builder.readonly. To publish or update posts, enable the appropriate post write scopes such as blogs/post.write or blogs/posts. Always follow least-privilege practices and rotate credentials regularly. The exact scopes depend on your use case and the endpoints you call.
Yes. You can automate blog-to-email workflows without coding by using the Blogs API endpoints to fetch posts and FanBasis to draft and send newsletters. When you enable automation, test in a staging environment first and confirm that templates render correctly and links work.
To start, focus on essential endpoints: POST /blogs/posts to publish, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to pull metadata. You can also check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates.
Call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the slug to verify uniqueness. If the slug exists, adjust your post title or slug until you get a unique URL.
Fetch categories with GET /blogs/categories and authors with GET /blogs/authors to populate FanBasis segments. Use this metadata to tailor campaigns by audience interests and author voice.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update a post’s title, content, or slug. After updating, you can re-publish or re-schedule the related newsletter to reflect changes.
Security is maintained through token-based authentication (OAuth or API keys) and HTTPS. Store credentials securely and limit scopes to what is necessary. Rotate tokens regularly, monitor access, and implement IP restrictions where possible.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
