Centralized data mapping keeps posts in sync across systems
This glossary defines core terms you will encounter when using the Blogs API with iHomefinder, including endpoints, slugs, and authors.
A set of rules that allows software to communicate and exchange data between systems.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the web address.
A specific URL on the API that performs an action such as create, read, update, or delete.
An event-driven notification that triggers external systems when a specified event occurs in the API.
Automatically generate drafts in Blogs API and publish to iHomefinder when ready, reducing manual steps.
Automatically map categories and authors between Blogs API and iHomefinder to keep posts organized.
Track slug changes and trigger SEO-friendly updates across platforms to preserve rankings.
Collect your API key or OAuth credentials and set the scope to emails/builder.readonly for this integration.
Map blog endpoints to iHomefinder fields such as title, slug, category, and author.
Run tests to validate post creation, updates, and slug checks before going live.
The Blogs API is a RESTful interface that lets you create, update, and manage blog content in your CMS and sync with iHomefinder. It exposes endpoints to manage posts, categories, authors, and slugs for consistent publication. You can connect using an API key or OAuth credentials, and configure the scope to fit your workflow. This integration emphasizes security and reliability, ensuring data integrity as posts move between systems.
Key endpoints for publishing and updating posts include POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts to retrieve. You can also check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and fetch categories with GET /blogs/categories and authors with GET /blogs/authors. A typical flow creates a draft in Blogs API, maps fields to iHomefinder, and then publishes when approved.
No heavy coding is required. The integration can be configured via a no-code connector or Zapier-style workflow. Start by gathering credentials, mapping fields, then running tests before going live. If your workflow needs a custom step, you can still extend it with lightweight scripts, but most teams get up and running quickly without writing code.
Yes. The integration supports retrieving and assigning categories and authors from the Blogs API (GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors) and mapping them to iHomefinder fields. This keeps posts consistently organized and properly attributed across both systems.
Slug checks ensure post URLs remain unique. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify a slug before creating or updating a post. If a slug already exists, you can generate a new slug or adjust the title slightly. This helps preserve SEO rankings and prevents duplicate URLs.
No-code benefits include rapid setup, drag-and-drop field mapping, and automated workflows that synchronize posts, categories, and authors between Blogs API and iHomefinder. This reduces development time, minimizes manual errors, and accelerates go-live. Overall, you gain scalable automation without writing custom code.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
