Authenticate Blogs API with Zapier App Connector using OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Store credentials securely and rotate access tokens regularly.
Zapier App Connector supports OAuth 2.0 and API keys to authorize connections to external services. Create a connection in Zapier, then configure the Blogs API actions you want to use.
– 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 on a new blog draft in Blogs API and push details into Zapier to start downstream actions.
Actions: create post records, generate slug, assign author and category, then notify teams.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author_id, category_id
Trigger when blog metadata is updated or when a post is published.
Actions: fetch author and category data, update local records, refresh dashboards.
GET /blogs/authors
author_id, name, bio, slug
Trigger on post status change to published.
Actions: update /blogs/posts/:postId, notify subscribers, publish to connected channels.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, status, publishDate

Collect the OAuth client ID, client secret, and API keys for Blogs API.
Create a new connection in Zapier App Connector and authorize access to Blogs API.
Choose triggers and actions from Blogs API endpoints, then test and enable the Zap.
You can authenticate using OAuth 2.0 via Zapier connections, or use API keys if supported by the Blogs API. For security, prefer OAuth and rotate secrets regularly. Avoid embedding secrets in Zaps and limit scopes to the minimum required. Use trusted connections in Zapier and enable alerting for credential changes to protect your data.
Endpoints exposed through the Zapier App Connector include creating and updating blog posts, slug checks, and retrieving authors and categories. This lets you automate publishing, metadata sync, and organization of content. The URL slug check (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) helps ensure you don’t create duplicate or conflicting post slugs.
No coding is required if you use Zapier’s triggers and actions to connect Blogs API endpoints. A basic understanding of endpoints and fields helps you map data effectively. If you need advanced logic, you can add conditional steps within Zapier or combine with other apps in your automation flow.
Test your Zap in Zapier’s editor using sample data, then review the Run History to troubleshoot. Validate each endpoint response and adjust field mappings as needed. Use test data that mirrors real posts, including title, content, author, and category to ensure a smooth end-to-end workflow.
Yes—use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to pull author and category data. This allows you to enrich posts with metadata and assign authors automatically. This data can also feed dashboards and reports, improving content governance across teams.
Slug checks prevent duplicates by verifying the existence of a slug before creating a post. You can call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists as part of your Zap’s pre‑check. If a slug exists, adjust the title or slug to produce a unique URL and avoid conflicts.
Rate limits vary by endpoint; plan retries and implement backoff to avoid throttling. Cache commonly requested metadata where appropriate and stagger requests in high‑volume automations. Respect the minimum required scopes and use batch actions where supported to optimize throughput.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
