Use your API key and the required scopes to authorize requests from GitLab to Blogs API, ensuring only permitted actions are allowed.
Grant GitLab the necessary permissions to read, create, and update blog data via the Blogs API for a smooth integration.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/post-update.write; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger when a new post is added in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts or GET /blogs/posts).
GitLab action: create or append a release note, or update a project page with the post data.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, author, summary
Trigger when a post is updated via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or POST /blogs/post-update.write.
GitLab action: sync the update to a release note or descriptive MR.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger when checking slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
GitLab action: block merges or flag conflicts if slug already exists; create drafts if needed.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Automate content distribution between Blogs API and GitLab without writing code.
Faster publishing workflows and consistent branding across GitLab projects.
Centralized authentication and transparent data flow between systems.
Understand the core elements and processes involved in connecting Blogs API to GitLab, including authentication, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface that enables communication between Blogs API and GitLab.
A specific URL path in the API used to access a resource or perform an action.
Methods to verify identity, such as API keys, OAuth tokens, or JWTs, ensuring secure access.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from a post title for routing and links.
Configure a workflow where a GitLab commit triggers a new blog post export and sends a digest email via Blogs API.
Automatically generate GitLab release notes from new blog posts to keep teams aligned.
Bridge author metadata from Blogs API into GitLab pages to enrich contributor profiles.
In Blogs API, generate a dedicated API key with scopes such as emails/builder.readonly and blogs/post.write for post creation.
In GitLab, configure a service connection or webhook to call Blogs API endpoints (e.g., POST /blogs/posts).
Run a test post, verify the trigger fires in GitLab, and review data mapping and logs for any adjustments.
No code is required to set up the basic connection. You can use prebuilt triggers and actions to map blog events to GitLab workflows. For advanced scenarios, you can extend with simple webhooks or API calls. The platform guides you through authentication and data mapping without writing code.
Essential endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts) and checking slug existence (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) to validate content. For updates, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId is useful. Listing categories or authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors) helps with metadata syncing.
Use a sandbox or staging environment in both Blogs API and GitLab. Run test posts, verify triggers, inspect logs, and confirm data mappings before moving to production.
Common fields include title, slug, summary, author, content, and postId. Depending on your workflow, you may also sync metadata like categories and publication date.
