Authenticate with the Blogs API using an access token or API key with scopes such as blogs/post.write and blogs/check-slug.readonly. Store credentials securely in Rankr and choose the least-privilege scope that covers your workflow.
In Rankr, configure an OAuth flow or API key, then authorize the Zapier App Connector to call the Blogs API on your behalf. Rotate credentials regularly and scope access narrowly.

This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, methods, and fields used to connect the Blogs API with Rankr.
Application Programming Interface: a set of endpoints that lets you interact with a service programmatically.

Generally, no coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to connect Rankr with the Blogs API. You can configure triggers, actions, and mappings without writing code. If you need advanced logic, you can add filters and paths. Tip: Start with a simple post-create workflow and iterate as you verify each step.
Supported endpoints include creating, updating, and publishing posts; slug checks; category and author retrieval. Some endpoints require specific scopes, such as blogs/post.write and blogs/check-slug.readonly. If you need additional endpoints, contact support. Note: Always test each endpoint in the App Connector’s built-in tester before going live.
To test the integration, use the App Connector’s test actions and triggers with sample data. Watch the response codes and payloads to confirm correctness. If errors occur, review credential scopes and endpoint permissions. Utilize sandbox data where available to avoid impacting live content.
Scopes should be limited to what your workflow needs (e.g., blogs/post.write for creating posts, blogs/check-slug.readonly for slug checks). Rotate credentials regularly and avoid broad access. If unsure, start with read-only scopes and expand only after validating each step.
Yes. You can schedule posts by setting a publishDate via the Blogs API and using the appropriate endpoints to mark posts as scheduled or published. Combine with Rankr’s scheduling triggers to automate publication workflows.
Authors can be synced by calling the blogs/author.readonly endpoint to retrieve authors and then assigning them to posts during creation or updates. Keep bios and taxonomy aligned between Rankr and Blogs API for consistency.
Slug management uses the slug endpoints to ensure uniqueness. Use slug-exists checks before creating or updating a post, and update the slug as needed to avoid duplicates. Best practice is to standardize slug formatting across teams for SEO consistency.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
