Authenticate Rankr to access the Blogs API using the provided scope (emails/builder.readonly). Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys as supported by the API to authorize requests.
Store credentials securely, rotate keys regularly, and grant only the necessary permissions to keep your data safe.
GET emails/builder — read email templates and settings POST emails/builder/data — submit email template data DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId — remove a template GET emails/schedule — fetch email schedule GET blogs/posts/url-slug-exists — check slug availability POST /blogs/posts — create a new blog post PUT /blogs/posts/:postId — update an existing post POST /blogs/posts — create a new post (alternative) GET /blogs/categories — list blog categories GET /blogs/authors — list authors
Trigger: A new draft in Rankr prompts a POST /blogs/posts to create the post in the Blogs API.
Actions: Create post, then update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId as edits occur; verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
title, content, slug, author_id
Trigger: Rankr updates or creates an email template, syncing via POST /emails/builder/data.
Actions: Create/update templates, delete templates with DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, and align schedules with GET emails/schedule.
Methods: POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule
locationId, templateId, template_name, data
Trigger: Schedule-driven events from Rankr trigger actions via GET emails/schedule.
Actions: Schedule posts and campaigns, automate publication, and keep content in sync across platforms.

Run test posts and templates to verify data flow, error handling, and scheduling.
The connection relies on the scope emails/builder.readonly to allow reading and templating of email builders. Authentication should use OAuth 2.0 or an API key mechanism supported by the Blogs API to securely authorize Rankr. You’ll configure credentials in Rankr once, then refresh them as needed. This ensures requests to endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and POST /emails/builder/data are authenticated correctly. Keep your tokens secret, rotate them regularly, and apply the principle of least privilege to minimize risk.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and POST /emails/builder/data to sync email templates. For scheduling, GET emails/schedule helps you pull planned campaigns. You can pair these with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata.
No heavy coding is required. The integration is designed to be used via configurable mappings and presets in Rankr. You connect credentials, map endpoints to Rankr actions, and automate data flows with trigger-based events. Some light customization may be helpful, but a no-code approach is supported.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability before publishing. If the slug is taken, adjust the title or slug and re-check. This prevents duplicate URLs and helps maintain clean SEO-friendly links.
Security is maintained via OAuth 2.0 or API keys, scoped access, encrypted transmission, and token rotation. Rankr stores credentials securely and limits access to only the APIs needed for publishing posts and managing emails.
Yes. You can schedule posts and email campaigns using the Blogs API scheduling features. Use GET emails/schedule to view planned deliveries and align them with post publication times. Rankr can trigger those actions automatically based on your workflow.
Rate limits depend on your Blogs API plan. You can monitor usage via the API dashboard and implement retries with backoff in Rankr to avoid hitting limits. If you anticipate higher load, consider requesting a higher quota from your API provider.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
