To use the Blogs API with GoSquared, obtain your GHL API credentials (API key or OAuth token) and configure them in the GoSquared integration. This authentication protects endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts and POST /blogs/posts.
In GoSquared, enter the API key or OAuth credentials for the Blogs API, and set the required scopes (for example, blogs/post.write and blogs/post.readonly) to authorize requests.

The GoSquared integration with the Blogs API enables you to automate blog workflow and content distribution without coding. You can trigger actions from new posts, updates, or category changes and push those events into your GoSquared workflows. This creates a seamless publishing pipeline across channels. With the right credentials and scopes, you can securely read and write blog data and keep content synchronized between GoSquared and Blogs API endpoints.
No heavy coding is required. The integration uses connected apps and API keys or OAuth tokens to authorize requests. You configure the connection in GoSquared’s app marketplace, select the endpoints you need, and map data fields through a user-friendly UI. If you do encounter a complex use case, you can add lightweight scripting or use prebuilt automation steps. Most common setups are accomplished with standard triggers, actions, and field mappings.
Key endpoints for publishing are GET /blogs/posts to retrieve posts and POST /blogs/posts to create new ones. You may also use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts. Additional endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help enrich posts with metadata and SEO attributes. These endpoints form the core publishing flow and enable automation across your content calendar.
Yes. By mapping the authors and categories endpoints (GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories) to your content fields, you ensure consistent metadata across posts. This improves SEO and helps maintain alignment between your GoSquared campaigns and the Blogs API data. You can refine mappings over time as your taxonomy evolves.
Testing is built into the integration. Use the GoSquared test console or sandbox credentials to run sample requests against endpoints like GET /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories. Review responses, verify field mappings, and adjust triggers and actions as needed. After successful tests, promote the connection to production with monitoring enabled.
Authentication typically involves either an API key or OAuth token with scopes such as blogs/post.write and blogs/post.readonly. Ensure your credentials are stored securely in GoSquared and that your app has the necessary permissions for all required endpoints. Rotate credentials periodically and monitor for unusual activity to maintain security.
Rate limits depend on your Blogs API plan. Common limits include a certain number of read/write requests per minute. Stay within quotas by batching requests, caching responses where appropriate, and aligning workflows to off-peak times when possible. If you anticipate higher usage, consider requesting rate limit adjustments from your API provider.
