Use your GHL API key to authorize requests from Rankr to the Blogs API, and include it in the Authorization header. Keep keys secure and only grant the necessary scopes for blogs and publishing.
Connect Rankr to the GHL ecosystem via OAuth or an API key, store credentials securely, and test connectivity to a simple endpoint like GET /blogs/posts.
Available endpoints include GET emails/builder, GET emails/builder.write, POST /emails/builder/data, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs.
Trigger: New draft in Rankr; Action: POST /blogs/posts to create the article; optionally check slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and finalize publish with a follow-up step.
Actions: Map title, content, author, category, and slug from Rankr to Blogs API; use /blogs/categories for category assignment and /blogs/authors for author mapping; schedule publish if needed.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author_id, category_id
Trigger: Post edited in Rankr; Action: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to apply changes
Actions: Update content and metadata; verify slug uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; adjust category/author if needed
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, status, category_id, author_id
Trigger: New or updated content; Action: Apply SEO-friendly tags and categories using /blogs/categories and /blogs/authors
Actions: Assign categories, add keywords, and generate a slug; map author and category via /blogs/authors and /blogs/categories
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
categories, keywords, slug, author_id
Automate content creation and publishing without writing code.

Speed up content workflows from idea to live post with click-to-connect automation.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, data mapping, triggers, actions, and validation rules that ensure reliable automation between Blogs API and Rankr.
An interface that lets two systems communicate securely to exchange data and commands.
A specific URL path in a service that performs an operation, such as creating or updating a blog post.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from a post title used in links and routing.
A callback URL that receives real-time event notifications from a service.
Auto-generate a weekly blog digest from Rankr insights using Blogs API.
Create a series of posts targeting specific keywords with slug and metadata mapping.
Publish blog updates to social channels and newsletters using Rankr triggers.
Collect your GHL API key and configure Rankr’s OAuth or API key storage.
Map Rankr data fields to Blogs API fields (title, content, slug, author, category).
Run tests to verify slug existence, category mappings, and publish flow; deploy to production once green.
To authenticate, obtain your GHL API key and include it in the Authorization header when Rankr calls the Blogs API. Ensure the secret is stored securely and that the key has the correct scope for blogs and publishing. In Rankr, test the connection against a simple endpoint like GET /blogs/posts to verify access. If you encounter issues, rotate keys and verify that the app has the necessary permissions.
The essential endpoints for posting and updating blogs include POST /blogs/posts to create a new post, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update an existing post, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness. You’ll also want GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate mappings for categories and authors. Map Rankr fields to title, content, slug, category_id, and author_id accordingly.
Use a slug generation rule and perform a slug existence check before publishing. Map SEO-relevant fields such as keywords and categories to the Blogs API so each post has search-friendly metadata. Consider using a predefined set of categories and a keyword list to maintain consistency across posts.
No heavy coding is required; this is a no-code integration via Rankr’s connectors. A basic understanding of API concepts and field mapping helps, but the UI typically guides you through the setup.
Test the integration in a staging environment by creating and updating test posts and verifying slug uniqueness and publication flow. Review the API responses and Rankr logs, then adjust credentials or mappings as needed before going live.
Map Rankr fields to Blogs API fields such as title, content, slug, author_id, and category_id. Use endpoints like GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to populate selection options, ensuring accurate field matching.
Error details appear in Rankr’s task logs and the Blogs API response body. Enable verbose logging if needed and review status codes, error messages, and rate limits. Common issues include invalid keys, scope mismatches, and mismatched field mappings.
