The Blogs API uses OAuth 2.0 with the scope emails/builder.readonly to access blog data from Zapier.
Zapier securely stores credentials and uses OAuth 2.0 to authorize actions against the Blogs API.
Key endpoints you’ll use with the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/post-update.write, and GET /blogs/categories. These endpoints empower creating, updating, slug-checking, and retrieving blog data for automation.

Test the workflow with sample data, then activate for production.
The Blogs API provides programmatic access to create, update, and manage blog content. When used with Zapier App Connector, you can trigger workflows from drafts, updates, or slug checks and push changes back to Blogs API automatically. This enables hands-free publishing and content governance across your stack.
No traditional coding is required. You configure triggers, actions, and field mappings in Zapier, and the Blogs API handles the underlying data operations through the defined endpoints. Some basic familiarity with REST endpoints helps, but the setup itself remains no-code.
Essential endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata.
Use the slug existence endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to confirm availability before publishing. If the slug exists, you can modify it or fetch the existing post data to resolve conflicts, all within a Zapier workflow.
OAuth 2.0 is the recommended authentication method. You’ll authorize Zapier to access the Blogs API, obtaining tokens that permit specific scopes such as read/write access to posts. Credentials are securely stored by Zapier.
Yes. The Blogs API supports publishing posts to schedules via your workflow. You can set a publish time and have Zapier trigger the post creation or update at the designated moment.
Sample mappings are provided in the official docs and within Zapier’s Blog integration templates. You can tailor mappings for title, content, slug, category, and author fields to fit your publishing process.
