To connect Blogs API to your App Connector, generate API credentials from the Blogs API dashboard and configure them in the App. Use secure storage, apply the necessary scopes for read/write access to posts, categories, and authors, and verify permissions with a quick test call.
In the App Connector, paste your API credentials and select the appropriate authentication method (OAuth2 or API key). Ensure requests include the required headers and tokens, and perform a test run to confirm successful access to blog data.
Core blogging endpoints you’ll use include: POST /blogs/posts to create posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update a post; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability; GET /blogs/categories to list categories; GET /blogs/authors to fetch authors; GET blogs/category.readonly and GET blogs/author.readonly for read-only metadata. Additionally, email-related endpoints (e.g., GET emails/builder) can be referenced for cross-channel workflows, but the primary blogging endpoints are above.
Trigger: The app creates a new blog draft and sends it to Blogs API for publishing.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to publish with fields: title, content, slug, category, author; attach scheduling if needed.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, category, author, publishedAt
Trigger: Post changes in App, update in Blogs API.
Actions: Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with updated fields.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, category
Trigger: When preparing to publish, validate slug against existing posts.
Actions: Check slug using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, then POST /blogs/posts.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug

The Blogs API provides a RESTful interface to read, create, update, and manage blog data from external apps. By connecting it to App Connector, you can automate publishing workflows, schedule posts, and keep content in sync without manual steps. Start by generating API credentials in the Blogs API dashboard, then configure them in App Connector and run a test post to confirm successful integration.
No-code integration is designed for ease of use; you can set up triggers and actions without writing code. If you need custom logic, you can still call the endpoints directly with simple HTTP requests and handle responses in App Connector.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to confirm slug uniqueness before publishing. Then POST /blogs/posts to create the post with your required fields.
Use API keys or OAuth credentials with scoped access. Store tokens securely, rotate credentials regularly, and make requests over HTTPS. Prefer OAuth 2.0 with short-lived access tokens and refresh tokens.
Slug existence checks prevent duplicates and broken links. You can enforce slug rules in your App Connector workflow before publishing.
If an update fails, inspect the API error response, implement exponential backoff retries, and verify the postId and payload. Logging helps diagnose repeated failures.
