Use your GHL API credentials to authenticate requests to the Blogs API. Start by obtaining a client ID and secret, then generate access tokens with the required scope for content operations. Keep credentials secure and rotate them regularly.
HirePOS uses OAuth-style tokens to securely connect to the Blogs API. Store tokens safely, and use scoped permissions to limit access to blog publishing features. If your workflow uses Zapier or an integration layer, ensure tokens are refreshed before expiration.
Key endpoints include: GET /blogs/posts (list posts), POST /blogs/posts (create post), PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update post), GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (check slug), GET /blogs/categories (list categories), GET /blogs/authors (list authors).
Trigger: A new draft is created in HirePOS or a post is ready to publish.
Actions: create or update a blog post in the Blogs API, apply slug, set author and category.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, authorId, categoryId, slug
Trigger: category or author data changes in Blogs API or HirePOS.
Actions: fetch latest categories/authors, update local mapping, refresh dropdowns.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
Fields: id, name, slug
Trigger: user attempts to publish a post; verify slug uniqueness via Blogs API
Actions: check slug existence, create or update post, publish when available
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Fields: slug
Automate blog publishing without writing code.
Keep content in sync across platforms with minimal manual steps.
Accelerate content workflows and reduce errors with integrated endpoints.
This section covers API concepts, endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and workflow automation you’ll use when connecting HirePOS to the Blogs API.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allow two software applications to communicate.
A specific URL path in an API where a resource can be accessed or manipulated.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the web address.
A web callback that notifies your system of events in real-time.
Schedule blog posts in Blogs API automatically when draft status changes in HirePOS.
Publish teaser or summary to social accounts when a post is published.
Suggest tags and categories using content analysis.
Register the integration in both systems to obtain client ID and client secret, then set the required scopes (e.g., blogs/post.write).
Map HirePOS fields (title, content, author, category) to Blogs API fields and configure triggers.
Run tests for a sample post, verify slug creation, and monitor for errors.
The Blogs API provides endpoints to manage blog content, including posts, categories, and authors, enabling you to create, update, and organize blog data from external apps. It lets you leverage your existing content workflows without directly editing the blog UI. You can fetch, create, and update posts, and validate slugs to ensure clean URLs. This keeps your content synchronized across systems and teams.
Authentication relies on secure credentials issued by the GHL platform and HirePOS connectors. Obtain a client ID and secret, then generate access tokens scoped for blog publishing operations. Treat tokens as sensitive data, rotate them regularly, and use token refresh where supported by your integration tool.
For content publishing, key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. You can also retrieve categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to map metadata correctly.
No heavy coding is required when using no-code automation tools. You can set up triggers, actions, and field mappings through intuitive UI flows. This lets you automate publishing and syncing with minimal or no custom coding.
Slug availability is checked with the slug-exists endpoint before publishing. If a slug is taken, adjust the title or slug and re-check until a unique URL is created. This prevents duplicate URLs and preserves SEO-friendly paths.
Yes. Authors and categories are accessible via endpoints like GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. You can map these identifiers to HirePOS records to maintain consistent metadata across platforms.
Field mapping is configured in your integration setup. Map HirePOS fields (title, content, author, category) to the corresponding Blogs API fields, and ensure required fields (such as slug and IDs) are correctly populated for successful calls.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
