Endpoints like GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId provide the data you need for dashboards. Use these endpoints to pull post details, author info, and category data. They form the backbone of your Geckoboard datasets. You can mix in emails or other data as needed for your workflow. Ensure your API keys or OAuth credentials grant the necessary read permissions. This keeps dashboards fresh with the latest blog activity.
No heavy coding is required. The integration is designed for no-code or low-code workflows using GHL, Rankr, and Geckoboard connectors. Map fields and set triggers in your automation platform, then test your dashboards. If you do run into advanced needs, lightweight scripting can handle complex field transformations.
Authorization typically uses OAuth or API keys to grant Rankr access to read blog data and push updates to Geckoboard. You’ll configure a scoped token in the Blogs API and authorize Rankr within GHL to access those scopes. Keep tokens secure and rotate them according to your security policy. This flow ensures data remains synced without exposing credentials.
Yes. When connected, you can stream new posts, updates, and metadata into Geckoboard datasets. This enables near real-time visualization of blog performance, author activity, and SEO-related metrics without manual exports.
Map essential fields like postId, title, slug, author, publishedAt, and category for posts; author_id and name for authors; and category_id and name for categories. You can tailor fields to your dashboards, such as views, engagement, and post counts, depending on what the Blogs API exposes and what Geckoboard can display.
If a slug exists or is missing, you can trigger alerts or adjust your content strategy accordingly. The GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists endpoint helps verify slug availability and avoid duplicates, enabling proactive SEO monitoring and content planning.
