How to Connect Blogs API and Rankr

This guide explains how to securely connect the Blogs API to Rankr’s HelpDesk workflow, including authentication steps, endpoint usage, and practical integration tips.

Authenticate with Blogs API

To authorize requests to the Blogs API you’ll use the provided OAuth credentials. Scope: emails/builder.readonly. Keep tokens secure and rotate them regularly.

Authenticate Rankr

Rankr authenticates to the Blogs API using a standard OAuth 2.0 flow (client credentials). Use your client ID and secret, request the required scope, and exchange the authorization code for an access token.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a separate account to access the Blogs API?

In most setups you do not need a separate account beyond your existing GHL and Rankr accounts. Access is controlled via API keys or tokens tied to your organization. The Blogs API scope (emails/builder.readonly) determines what you can view or modify. Ensure your app is authorized so Rankr can perform the required actions. Additionally, maintain least-privilege access by granting only the necessary scopes for the workflow.

Scopes define what an access token can do. For this connection, the recommended scope is emails/builder.readonly to read templates and manage posts. If you require writing capabilities, your OAuth setup must explicitly request the appropriate write scope. Always adhere to the principle of least privilege and rotate tokens regularly.

Yes. Use a development or sandbox environment when available to validate connections without impacting production data. Test common flows such as fetching templates (GET emails/builder) and creating posts (POST /blogs/posts). Use mock data to confirm payloads, responses, and error handling.

Store OAuth tokens securely on your server (not in the client). Use environment variables and secret management, rotate tokens on a schedule, and implement token revocation handling. Never expose tokens in client-side code or logs.

If an endpoint returns an error, review the HTTP status code, error message, and the request payload. Check token validity and scope, endpoint permissions, and rate limits. Use retry/backoff where appropriate and consult the integration logs for detailed diagnostics.

Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Expect possible throttling on high-traffic bursts. Implement exponential backoff, and monitor response headers for remaining quota. If you consistently hit limits, consider batching requests or upgrading your plan.

Yes. The docs include sample payloads for common actions like creating posts and templates. Start with minimal examples to verify structure (title, content, slug) and then expand to include additional fields as needed.
