Authenticate your requests to the Blogs API with your GHL API key or OAuth token, and ensure the request uses the correct scope for reading and writing posts.
Rankr uses a secure API key-based model. Store credentials in a vault and attach the key to all GHL endpoint requests; rotate keys regularly.

Yes. The Blogs API supports automated publishing from Rankr using POST /blogs/posts. Start by authenticating with your API key, then configure Rankr to trigger posts when your draft is ready. This streamlines publishing and ensures consistency across platforms. Also, use GET /blogs/categories to assign correct categories during publish. Finally, monitor results in Rankr analytics to refine workflows.
Absolutely. You can set up a trigger in Rankr to automatically publish drafts to the Blogs API. Ensure you have the required permissions and that the content meets your publishing rules. After setup, new drafts can push to /blogs/posts with minimal manual intervention.
Slug existence can be checked before publishing via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug already exists, you can adjust it or update the existing post. This helps avoid duplicate content and keeps URLs clean.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Plan for bursts during launches and use backoff logic in Rankr automations. If you expect high traffic, consider token rotation and endpoint prioritization to maintain reliability.
Yes. You can manage authors via endpoints like GET /blogs/authors. This enables you to assign authors to posts, fetch author bios, and keep attribution accurate. Use PUT or POST variants as needed to update author data.
To test the connection, run a dry-run publish of a test post, verify slug generation with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and confirm that the post appears in Rankr analytics. Use staging credentials and monitor API responses for any errors.
