To connect the Blogs API from GHL to Hiver, generate an API key in GHL and securely store it in Hiver’s integration settings. Use the Authorization header to send requests and scope access to blog endpoints.
Within Hiver, create a new GHL connection using the API key and verify the link with a test post. Store the key securely and rotate credentials regularly.
Blogs API endpoints you may use include: blogs/post.write, POST /blogs/posts, blogs/post-update.write, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, blogs/check-slug.readonly, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, blogs/category.readonly, GET /blogs/categories, blogs/author.readonly, GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: a new draft in Hiver triggers a POST to /blogs/posts to publish via Blogs API.
Actions: map fields (title, content, excerpt, slug, categories, authorId) and call the endpoint to create the post.
POST /blogs/posts to create; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts.
Key fields: title, content, slug, excerpt, categories, authorId, status.
Trigger: Schedule sync to update existing posts or apply edits from Hiver to Blog posts.
Actions: check slug existence, update post, and re-categorize as needed.
GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs.
Key fields: postId, slug, categoryIds, authorId.
Trigger: Pull analytics and reference data from read-only endpoints to populate dashboards.
Actions: fetch authors, categories, and slug existence checks.
GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Key fields: categoryId, authorId, slugExists.
No-code content creation: draft and publish blog posts from templates in Hiver without writing code.
Real-time content syncing across your blog, app, and dashboards.
Centralized content management with analytics and version history.
Understanding endpoints, triggers, actions, and field mappings helps you map a smooth flow between GHL’s Blogs API and Hiver.
An article created via the Blogs API and published to your blog.
A URL-friendly identifier for a post used in routing.
The writer of the blog post.
A content grouping such as topics or sections for posts.
Populate draft blog posts in Blogs API by pulling content from Hiver templates, enabling fast publishing with minimal manual editing.
Create a review stage in Hiver and publish approved drafts via Blogs API with a single click.
Sync your Hiver content calendar with the Blogs API publishing schedule to coordinate release across platforms.
Generate an API key in GHL, then add it to Hiver’s GHL connection settings and test the link.
Select required blog endpoints (create, update, slug checks, list categories, authors) and ensure scopes align.
Run test requests, verify responses, monitor logs, and then enable live syncing.
Typically, you can use a single API key per connection. If you manage multiple environments (development, staging, production), you may create separate connections with distinct keys. For isolation across environments, separate keys are helpful. Rotate credentials regularly and store them securely in Hiver’s integration settings.
To publish, you will use POST /blogs/posts (blogs/post.write) to create posts. You may also need PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. For slug validation and metadata, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. These endpoints support proper publishing workflows.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the slug you plan to publish. The response indicates availability. If the slug exists, adjust the slug or title to generate a unique slug.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to pull current lists. You can pass authorId and categoryIds when creating or updating posts to assign attribution and taxonomy.
Write access is required to create and update posts. Read-only endpoints are suitable for reference and analytics. If your use case is publishing, grant write permissions; for insights, read-only is sufficient.
Test in a sandbox or staging environment by creating sample posts and verifying responses. Check that creates, updates, and slug checks behave as expected. Review error messages and adjust mappings as needed.
Troubleshooting logs are available in the GHL integration UI and Hiver activity feed after connecting the Blogs API. Enable verbose logging during setup to capture API requests and responses for debugging.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
