Establish a secure connection between Ghost and the Blogs API using your API credentials and tokens. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.
Use Ghost access tokens or OAuth with the required scopes to authorize requests. Maintain least privilege to protect content.
GET emails/builder; GET 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 post is created in Ghost; Action: publish the post using the Blogs API via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions include setting the title, content, slug, status, and tags; optionally schedule for future release.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, status, author_id, tags, featured_image
Trigger: a post is updated in the Blogs API; Action: update the corresponding Ghost post using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Actions include updating the title and content, syncing the slug and metadata, and republishing if needed
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, status, author_id
Trigger: a new author or category is detected in Blogs API; Action: fetch and map to Ghost using GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
Actions include updating internal mappings, creating local representations, and ensuring consistent display in Ghost
GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories
author_id, name, slug; category_id, name, slug
Create and publish posts from external content sources without writing code
Keep Ghost content synchronized with your content pipeline automatically
Schedule and automate workflows across time zones for consistent publishing
Core terms and processes you should know when wiring Ghost to the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector
A defined URL plus HTTP method that enables a specific action between systems, for example GET /blogs/authors or POST /blogs/posts
A token used to authorize API requests; exchange for access to Ghost or the Blogs API
A URL friendly identifier for a post or page used in routing and linking
The maximum number of API requests allowed in a given window to prevent abuse
Pull top posts from your Blogs API and publish a digest in Ghost for newsletter or blogroll.
Push edits from your content source to Ghost automatically so readers see the latest version.
Push new content to Ghost and mirror to other platforms via the endpoints.
Enter credentials for Ghost and the Blogs API, then authorize the connection to start syncing.
Choose the needed endpoints and map fields like title, content, slug, and date.
Run a test post, verify data sync, and then switch to live mode with monitoring.
No coding is required. The integration uses connector-style triggers and actions to move data between Ghost and the Blogs API. You configure mappings and endpoints through a guided setup. The result is a no-code workflow you can reuse across posts and updates. The focus is on simplifying content automation rather than writing scripts.
Yes. You can schedule posts to Ghost using the Blogs API endpoints. Configure a publish time and time zone, and the system will queue and publish automatically. Ensure your Ghost instance allows scheduled publishing and that time zone settings are correct for accurate timing.
The connection primarily uses endpoints related to posts, authors, and categories. Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/categories. Endpoints for emails and scheduling may also be referenced for ancillary automation. Review the endpoint list to confirm exactly which are active for your workflow.
Check your authentication keys or tokens, verify scopes, and confirm the endpoint URLs are reachable from your network. If errors persist, consult the connection health page and regenerate credentials if needed. Logging and retry policies help identify where the failure occurs.
Yes. API calls are subject to rate limits. Plan by batching requests where possible and spacing high-volume actions. If you hit limits, the connector will typically back off and retry after a brief delay.
Author and category data can be synchronized automatically by polling the Blogs API for updates and refreshing Ghost metadata as part of the workflow. You can set up a dedicated sync step to keep both systems aligned.
Error logs are available in the connector dashboard and your Ghost instance. Use the logs to identify failed requests, token expiry, or mismatched fields. The troubleshooting guide provides common fixes and next steps.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
