To use the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector, obtain an API key or OAuth token from your Blogs API account and grant access with the required scopes for publishing and reading content.
During setup you will authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your Blogs API resources. This involves confirming the required scopes and permissions.

The Blogs API in this guide exposes endpoints to create, read, update and publish blog content, including posts, categories and authors. It also supports slug checks and publishing status. Use Zapier to automate these tasks without writing code, enabling scheduled and event driven publishing.
Supported blogging endpoints include GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and GET /blogs/posts for listing and retrieval. Authentication and scope control are required to access these endpoints, ensuring only authorized apps can manage content.
Yes, you must authenticate either via API keys or OAuth tokens. During setup, you will configure the required scopes for reading and writing blog data. This ensures secure access and proper permissions for your Zapier automations.
Yes, you can fetch and manage categories and authors using endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. This helps organize posts by category and assign the correct author. Use Zapier actions to pull lists and drive your workflows with accurate metadata.
Slug checks prevent duplicate or conflicting post URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify a slug before publishing. If a slug exists, you can adjust it or trigger a fallback workflow to resolve conflicts.
Common automation scenarios include auto publishing from drafts, updating SEO data when content changes, and synchronizing categories and authors across systems. You can schedule posts and trigger actions in response to CMS updates or calendar events.
No coding is required for standard setups; Zapier provides a visual builder to connect endpoints and define triggers and actions. For advanced logic you can extend with custom fields or webhooks if needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
