Blogs API supports API key or OAuth authentication depending on your setup. Ensure the correct scope is granted for read/write actions. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly. Test the connection with a simple GET request to verify access to endpoints like /blogs/posts or /blogs/categories.
For basic publishing, use POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. You can also check categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to keep metadata in sync with Grassrootz. Map Grassrootz fields to blog fields automatically.
Call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with a proposed slug. If the response shows existing, modify the slug or append a timestamp. This helps avoid duplicates.
Yes. Scheduling can be coordinated through an email/notification workflow and by using publish timing in Grassrootz with appropriate endpoints like emails/builder and blogs/posts.
No heavy coding required. The integration uses standard REST endpoints and Grassrootz connectors. You may need some mappings but no full-scale development is required.
Errors appear in Grassrootz logs or in the Blogs API response. Check response codes, message details, and ensure credentials and scopes are correct. Enable verbose logging for troubleshooting.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
