Create an API key in the Blogs API dashboard and grant the endpoints you plan to use. In Rankr, store the key securely in the connector settings and assign the scope for blog operations (blogs/*) and any emails-related actions as needed.
In Rankr, connect the app by entering your Blogs API credentials into the Blogs connector. If the API supports OAuth, complete the OAuth flow; otherwise, use a secure API key. Ensure the credential has access to create, read, and update blog data.
Relevant endpoints include: GET /blogs/authors to fetch authors; GET /blogs/categories for categories; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs; POST /blogs/posts to create posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts; POST /blogs/post-update.write for post updates; GET /blogs/categories to list categories.
Trigger: New blog draft is ready in Blogs API
Actions: Create post via POST /blogs/posts, attach metadata (title, slug, author, category), and publish when approved.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: Blog post updated in Blogs API
Actions: Update post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and sync slug and metadata across systems.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: Prepare new post and verify slug availability
Actions: Check slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; create post with POST /blogs/posts if slug is available.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Automate publishing: turn blog drafts into live posts without manual steps.
Centralized content management: manage posts, authors, and categories from a single dashboard.
Faster content repurposing: reuse blog content to create emails and landing pages via existing endpoints.
Key elements include endpoints (URLs to perform tasks), triggers (events that start automations), actions (operations performed in response), method paths, and key fields that must be provided.
A set of rules that enables software systems to communicate. The Blogs API lets Rankr read and write blog data.
A specific URL in an API that performs a task, such as creating a post or checking a slug.
An event that starts an automation, such as a new blog post being drafted.
An operation performed by the integration in response to a trigger, such as posting to the Blogs API.
When a post goes live, automatically send a concise summary to your email lists via your email builder.
Push blog snippets to social channels through Rankr once a post is published.
Sync author metadata with your CRM to keep bios current across platforms.
Create an API key in the Blogs API dashboard and securely save it in Rankr’s connector.
Select the required endpoints (blogs posts, authors, categories) and set appropriate scopes.
Run a test post and verify it publishes across all channels.
The Blogs API is a programmable interface that lets Rankr read and write blog content. By connecting Rankr to the Blogs API, you can automate the creation, updating, and publishing of posts without manual steps. The integration uses a secure API key and defined scopes to control what Rankr can do.
No extensive coding is required. The pre-built connector in Rankr guides you through authentication and endpoint selection. You configure endpoints, test calls, and enable automation with simple toggles.
For publishing, you typically need endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, plus supporting endpoints for authors and categories. These give you full create and update capabilities for blog content.
Slug availability can be checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug exists, you can adjust the slug or create the post with a unique URL. The step is usually part of the post creation flow.
Yes. You can schedule posts by coordinating the blog post creation with schedule or publish endpoints. Rankr can earmark a time and queue the publish action to align with your content calendar.
Data is transmitted over secure protocols (HTTPS) and access is controlled via API keys and scopes. Always store credentials securely and rotate keys as part of your security best practices.
Review logs within the Blogs connector in Rankr. You can see request history, responses, and errors, then take action to correct any configuration issues. Detailed logs help with debugging and auditing.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
