Use your API credentials to securely authenticate with the Blogs API from the Zapier App Connector. Ensure the required scope is enabled for publishing, reading categories, and listing authors.
In Zapier, configure a connection by entering your API key or OAuth details for the Blogs API integration. Save and test the connection to verify access.
Core endpoints for publishing and management: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts
Trigger: When your CMS has a new article ready, send the content to Blogs API to create the post.
Actions: Create a new post with title, content, slug, and metadata; optionally update after publish.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, author, categories
Trigger: Before creating a post, verify the slug is unique to prevent duplicates.
Actions: Validate slug existence and fetch existing post data if needed.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug
Trigger: Retrieve taxonomy and author data to enrich posts.
Actions: Fetch and map categories and authors for content planning and attribution.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: categoryId, name; authorId, name
Automate blog publishing and updates without writing custom code.
Centralize content workflows between Blogs API and your Zapier-driven apps.
Scale content operations with reusable Zapier templates and triggers.
Definitions for API concepts and the workflow steps used when integrating the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
Application programming interface that enables software components to communicate with the Blogs API.
A specific URL on the Blogs API used to perform a function or retrieve data.
Process of verifying identity and granting access to the Blogs API.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the post URL.
Create a Zap that triggers on new CMS content and publishes it to Blogs API using the POST /blogs/posts endpoint.
Before publishing, verify slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and adjust as needed.
Aggregate posts by category and author, then schedule across channels using Zapier tasks.
Provide your API credentials to sign in and authorize access to Blogs API from Zapier.
Map endpoints to your Zapier workflows and test each connection to ensure data flows correctly.
Run end-to-end tests and deploy to production after verification succeeds.
No coding knowledge is required. Use the Zapier App Connector to connect your CMS or content source with the Blogs API and map fields visually. In addition, ensure your API key or OAuth credentials have the necessary scopes for post creation and retrieval.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check if a slug is already in use before creating a post. If the slug exists, adjust it or generate a new one automatically.
For basic publishing, the key endpoints are POST /blogs/posts to create posts and GET /blogs/categories to assign categories. You can also fetch authors with GET /blogs/authors to attribute posts correctly.
Authentication is typically done via an API key or OAuth. In Zapier App Connector, configure a persistent connection with the required credentials and test access. Rotate credentials regularly and restrict scopes to only what you need.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/authors to retrieve authors and GET /blogs/categories to retrieve categories. You can then map these values into your posts during creation.
Rate limits vary by plan. If you hit limits, you may receive 429 responses. Build retries with exponential backoff in Zapier to mitigate this.
Review error messages from the API response, log error IDs, and implement retries for transient issues. Use the status codes to guide remediation (e.g., 400 for bad input, 401 for auth, 500s for server errors).
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
