Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 where supported, or use an API key to securely authorize Zapier to access your Blogs data. Ensure the chosen scope matches the actions you’ll perform (reading categories, creating posts, updating posts, etc.).
Zapier authenticates with the Blogs API via OAuth 2.0 to enable seamless data transfer, automatic retries, and secure credential management.
Key endpoints include: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /blogs/post-update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. These endpoints enable post creation, updates, slug checks, and taxonomy lookups for a complete no-code workflow.
Trigger: a new post draft or scheduled item is ready to publish
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update
POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
title, content, slug, category_id, author_id, status
Trigger: draft post with a slug ready for validation
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
slug, category_id, author_id
Trigger: post publish in Blogs API
Actions: POST /blogs/post-update to change status; use existing post data to reflect published state
POST /blogs/post-update and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, status, publishedAt

No coding is required. Use Zapier’s visual builder to connect the Blogs API to your triggers and actions. You’ll map fields like title, content, slug, and category without writing code. If you run into issues, Zapier provides inline help and test features to validate mappings.
The integration can leverage endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors for taxonomy data, and POST /blogs/post-update to change publish status.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 when available, complemented by API keys if needed. Ensure you grant the Blogs API scope required for creating, updating, and validating posts. Store credentials securely in Zapier’s vault.
API rate limits vary by endpoint. Zapier handles retries with exponential backoff, but you should design your Zap to avoid excessive polling. For heavy workloads, prefer webhooks or event-based triggers where possible.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
