Use the provided API credentials and OAuth tokens to authorize calls to the Blogs API endpoints. Keep credentials secure and rotate regularly.
Rankr uses API keys to authenticate to GHL endpoints. Store keys securely and scope them to required permissions.
GET emails/builder GET emails/builder.readonly POST emails/builder POST /emails/builder/data DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId emails/schedule.readonly GET emails/schedule blogs/post.write POST /blogs/posts blogs/post-update.write PUT /blogs/posts/:postId blogs/check-slug.readonly GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists blogs/category.readonly GET /blogs/categories blogs/author.readonly GET /blogs/authors
When a new blog post is created in Blogs API, create a corresponding post in Rankr.
Actions: create a Rankr post from the Blogs post data; optionally schedule for publish in Blogs API.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, slug, author, category
If a blog post is updated in Blogs API, update Rankr accordingly; and consider updating the Blogs post when Rankr changes.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content; map Rankr changes to blog post fields.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content
Check if a slug exists to prevent duplicates and map categories between systems.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug, categoryId
Automate content publishing and updates without writing code.
Reduce manual data entry and human error through automated field mappings.
Scale publishing with scheduling, approvals, and lifecycle automation.
Overview of core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, data fields, and mappings used to connect Blogs API with Rankr.
GHL: The API-enabled platform that exposes endpoints for managing emails, blogs, authors, categories, and more. In this guide, GHL refers to the Blogs API endpoints you connect to Rankr via API calls.
Slug: a URL-friendly identifier used to locate a blog post. Ensure uniqueness to avoid duplicates.
API: Application Programming Interface that allows Rankr to communicate with Blogs API endpoints.
Endpoint: a specific URL path in the Blogs API that performs an action (read, write, update, delete).
Automatically publish new Rankr drafts to Blogs API using a one-click workflow.
Pull trending topics from Blogs API and create content briefs in Rankr with suggested tags.
Generate and verify slug candidates via Blogs API before publishing to Rankr.
Register your app in both systems and obtain API keys with the necessary scopes.
Create mappings between Blogs API fields (title, content, slug) and Rankr fields.
Run tests, verify data integrity, and adjust mappings for reliability.
No coding is required to connect Blogs API with Rankr. Use the visual flow builder to authenticate, map fields, and set up triggers. Start with authentication to securely connect both systems. Next, configure a simple trigger to move content from Blogs API into Rankr, then expand with updates, scheduling, and additional actions as you test.
Begin with understanding the Blogs API structure by listing categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors). Then try creating posts (POST /blogs/posts) and validating slugs (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) to see how data flows.
Yes. Scheduling can be implemented by combining Blogs API capabilities with Rankr workflows. Plan a cadence for publishing and use timing triggers to automate future posts. Pair scheduling with reminders and approvals to maintain consistent publishing.
Slug duplication can break links. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check for existing slugs before creating or updating a post. If the slug exists, generate a new slug or update the existing post accordingly.
Data can be synchronized in both directions with careful mapping and change-tracking. Implement diff checks to prevent infinite update loops and monitor changes to maintain data integrity.
Protect credentials by using secure storage, least-privilege API keys, and OAuth where available. Rotate keys regularly, log access, and enforce restricted scopes to minimize risk.
Refer to the endpoint documentation and sample workflows for starting templates. For more, explore community resources, support articles, and glossary entries to accelerate learning.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
