Use OAuth 2.0 with scoped access to the Blogs API from Instiller. Exchange your client credentials for access tokens and refresh tokens.
Configure Instiller to securely store and rotate credentials, then authorize requests to Blogs API endpoints.

Blogs API uses OAuth 2.0 to securely authorize Instiller requests. You’ll exchange your client credentials for access tokens and refresh tokens, keeping credentials safe and tokens short-lived. This approach ensures that your content operations remain secure while enabling seamless automation. In addition, Instiller stores credentials securely and rotates them according to best practices. Two-factor validation and token scoping help limit access to only the necessary endpoints.
Essential endpoints for publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability. You’ll also utilize GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to properly taxonomize and attribute posts. Emails-related endpoints may be used for draft-to-post workflows if you’re converting email content into posts.
Yes. You can validate slugs before publishing by using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check for existing slugs. If a slug exists, you can generate a new slug or adjust the title. This helps prevent duplicate URLs and preserves SEO value. The check-slug endpoint (blogs/check-slug.readonly) can be used for broader slug governance as needed.
No heavy coding is required. The integration can be configured with Instiller’s no-code workflows and the provided endpoints. If you need deeper customization, you can add lightweight automations via Zapier or your preferred automation tool to trigger API calls. The endpoints are designed to be accessible from no-code platforms while still offering full control when code is used.
Schedule blog posts by using the blogs/posts endpoints in combination with a scheduling trigger in Instiller. You can create posts ahead of time with a publish date, then use a separate workflow to publish or update as the date approaches. The blogs/schedule endpoints support scheduling workflows for email and blog content alike.
Rate limits depend on your GHL account plan. Start with conservative requests and implement exponential backoff in your automation. Monitor request quotas in the API docs and in Instiller’s integration logs to avoid hitting limits. If needed, request higher quotas from your API provider and optimize batch processing where possible.
Example payloads for posts, categories, and authors are available in the API documentation and starter templates within Instiller’s integration wizard. Use these examples as a baseline and adjust fields like title, content, slug, categoryId, and authorId to match your content strategy. Reviewing payload examples helps reduce errors during initial setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
