Access to the Blogs API uses tokens with a defined scope. For ikas, ensure you request and store a token with at least read access to emails/builder and write access where needed. Use your GHL API key or OAuth flow to obtain a token and attach it to each request.
Authenticate ikas to GHL by supplying the client credentials and using the token in the Authorization header for every API call. This keeps workflows secure and auditable.
