To authenticate with GHL for the Blogs API, generate an access token from the GHL developer console and include it in the Authorization header for each request. Ensure the token has the proper scope for blogs endpoints. Store tokens securely in your integration settings.
Essential endpoints for publishing posts include POST /blogs/posts to create and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness. Consider using blogs/post.write for create actions as well.
Yes, you can fetch categories via GET /blogs/categories and authors via GET /blogs/authors. These responses help populate post metadata in HiHello. Cache results when appropriate to reduce API calls.
No code is required if you use HiHello or a no code connector. You can set up triggers and actions visually. Some familiarity with field mapping and endpoints improves reliability and maintenance.
Recommended fields include title and content as required, plus slug, excerpt, category_id and author_id. Additional fields such as status and featured image may be used depending on your blog platform.
Slug creation is typically handled by the Blogs API using the post title. If a slug already exists, use the slug exists endpoint to generate a unique slug or append a suffix. Implement a fallback strategy to ensure unique URLs.
API rate limits vary by plan. Check the provider docs for exact quotas. If limits are hit, implement exponential backoff and batch requests where possible to avoid throttling.
