Authenticate requests with your GHL credentials. Ensure your Blogs API integration has the required scope and that your API key or OAuth token is kept secure.
Rankr uses OAuth 2.0 to authorize access to the Blogs API through GHL, providing a secure token based connection.
Key endpoints range from GET emails/builder and POST /emails/builder to GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, with create, update, and fetch capabilities for posts, authors, and categories. This integration leverages endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to manage content flow between GHL and Rankr.
Trigger: when a draft is published in Rankr, automatically create a post in Blogs API.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create a post with title, content, slug, authorId, and categoryId.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId; include publishDate if scheduling is used.
Trigger: after post creation, set a publish schedule or automate timing via Rankr.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to adjust timing; use POST /blogs/posts for new posts and update with publishDate.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, publishDate, status
Trigger: updates to authors or categories in GHL propagate to Blogs API and Rankr.
Actions: GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to pull data and sync to Rankr; create or update as needed.
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, name, bio; categoryId, name

This glossary covers API endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data fields used in the Blogs API integration with Rankr.
A specific URL path that exposes a resource in the GHL Blogs API.
An event that initiates a workflow or action in the integration.
How the integration proves identity to access GHL and Blogs API endpoints.
A URL friendly identifier for posts or categories used in routing and SEO.
Turn briefs from Rankr into draft blog posts in Blogs API using automated triggers.
Map topics in Rankr to blog categories and tags in Blogs API.
Schedule posts for publication during peak engagement windows using Rankr and Blogs API.
Collect your GHL API credentials and Rankr access details to authorize the integration.
Set up the necessary endpoints from the Blogs API to enable create, update, and fetch operations.
Run tests to verify data flow and publish behavior before going live.
To authenticate with the GHL Blogs API, generate an access token using your GHL API credentials with the required scope for posts, authors, and categories. Keep tokens secure and rotate them periodically. Use the token in the Authorization header as a Bearer token for each request. If your setup supports OAuth, follow the standard OAuth 2.0 flow to obtain and refresh tokens.
Publishing a blog post typically requires POST /blogs/posts with fields like title, content, slug, authorId, and categoryId. Before publishing, you can verify slug uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. This ensures clean URLs and avoids duplicates.
Yes. You can schedule posts by including a publishDate in the request body or by updating the post metadata after creation. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to adjust the scheduled time and status as needed. Ensure your scheduling respects time zones and your Rankr configuration.
Syncing authors and categories involves pulling data from GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then mapping fields to Rankr. Regularly run a sync to keep metadata aligned, and set up automated checks to handle new or updated records.
A slug is a URL friendly identifier used in the post’s URL. It should be unique and descriptive. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure the slug is not already in use, and adjust as necessary to maintain clean URLs and optimal SEO.
Test the integration in a staging environment by creating sample posts and verifying that data flows correctly between GHL, Blogs API, and Rankr. Check request payloads, responses, and any error logs. Use mock data to explore edge cases before going live.
Implement retries with exponential backoff for transient errors, log detailed error messages, and map error codes to user friendly guidance. Use consistent error handling across create, update, and fetch operations to improve reliability.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
