To start, obtain your API credentials from the GHL dashboard and grant Rankr the requested scopes. Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys as provided, then test access to a read endpoint before proceeding to write actions.
In Rankr, configure the GHL connection using the client ID and client secret from your Blogs API app. Save the connection and verify a quick handshake to confirm permissions.

Run a test post to ensure data moves correctly and error handling is in place.
The Blogs API lets you create, update, and publish blog posts from Rankr using REST endpoints. You can also manage categories and authors. This integration enables automation without code, tying Rankr’s templates and scheduling to your blog workflow.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys, depending on how you set up the GHL app. In Rankr, configure the connection with the credentials and authorize the app to access the required scopes. Test a read operation first to confirm permissions.
The core endpoints include creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), checking slug availability (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and retrieving categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors).
Yes. You can schedule posts in Rankr to publish at a future time by using the blogs/posts endpoints along with scheduling endpoints where available. Ensure your time zone and scheduledAt field are set correctly.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. If you hit a limit, implement retries with exponential backoff and cache results locally when possible.
Use test mode, inspect API responses, verify request payloads, and check logs in Rankr and GHL for detailed error messages. Common issues include invalid slugs, missing required fields, or insufficient scopes.
API credentials are found in the GHL developer console under your Blogs API app. Documentation is available in the GHL developer docs and within Rankr’s integration guide.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
