Use a secure OAuth 2.0 flow or API key to grant Rankr access to the Blogs API. Ensure the requested scope aligns with your needs, such as read and write access to blog posts and categories.
Create a connected app in Rankr, obtain client credentials, and configure a safe redirect. Store credentials securely and use them to request an access token for subsequent API calls.
Key endpoints used include: GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; 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.
Trigger: A new blog draft is created in Rankr. Action: create a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts. Path: POST /blogs/posts
Map fields such as title, content, slug, categoryId, and authorId from Rankr form data to the Blogs API payload. Set post status to draft or published as needed.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, status
Trigger: Rankr updates a blog draft. Action: update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Update fields such as title, content, slug, categoryId, and status in the existing post record.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, status
Trigger: When a new draft is ready in Rankr, check slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before create.
If the slug exists, generate a unique slug; if not, proceed to create the post with the chosen slug.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Drag-and-drop workflow setup means you can connect fields without writing code
Automated content publishing and syncing between Rankr and Blogs API
Real-time insights with built-in error handling and retries
Key elements you will use include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, method paths, and field mappings to translate data between Rankr and Blogs API.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to interact with the API and exchange data.
A URL friendly identifier derived from the post title used in the blog URL and SEO.
Process of validating access rights between Rankr and the Blogs API to authorize requests.
A piece of content with a title, body, and metadata stored in the Blogs API.
Use Rankr forms to generate blog drafts and publish via Blogs API.
Route posts to categories based on form input and tags.
Check slug uniqueness and publish with SEO-friendly slug.
Set up OAuth credentials and connect the app to the Blogs API.
Define how Rankr fields map to blog post fields such as title, content, slug, and category.
Run test submissions, verify posts appear in Blogs API, then switch to live mode.
The Blogs API is a RESTful interface that lets you manage blog content programmatically. It enables creating, updating, listing, and deleting posts, categories, and authors. When connected to Rankr, you can drive blog publishing from form submissions and automated workflows. This reduces manual data entry and keeps your blog data consistent across systems. With clear authentication, rate limits, and endpoint definitions, you can build reliable automations that scale as your content grows.
No heavy coding is required to get started. Use the no-code or low-code connectors to map Rankr form fields to Blogs API post fields. If you need advanced logic, you can insert conditional steps and basic transformation rules. For most teams, the built-in triggers and actions cover common publishing workflows.
Common endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). Listing categories (GET /blogs/categories) and authors (GET /blogs/authors) support content assignments. Email endpoints (emails/builder) are available for related workflows such as notification emails.
Authentication is typically handled via OAuth 2.0 or API keys. You will configure a connected app with client credentials in Rankr, request an access token, and use that token to authorize API requests to Blogs API endpoints.
Yes. You can map Rankr form fields to blog fields like title, content, slug, categoryId, and authorId. You can also specify default values, post status, and routing rules to different categories based on form input.
If an endpoint returns an error, the integration typically retries with exponential backoff and surfaces a friendly error message. You can configure fallback actions or alerting to ensure you fix data issues quickly.
Documentation for these endpoints is available in the Blogs API reference. It covers authentication, rate limits, request/response schemas, and examples for common workflows. Refer to the API docs within Rankr for the latest guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
