Blogs API uses token-based authentication. Generate and store an API token, then include it with every request to ensure secure access to your blog data.
Zapier App Connector manages credentials securely. Use a connected account setup to pass tokens and keys into workflows without exposing them in your steps.

Automate publication and distribution without writing any code, saving time and reducing manual steps.
Easily connect your blog workflow to other apps (CMS, email, social) using ready-made Zapier actions.
Centralized control with secure credential storage and versioned automations.
Understand the core terms used in the Blogs API integration with Zapier App Connector to design clear, maintainable automations.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that enables software components to communicate and share data.
A specific URL path and method for interacting with a service, such as GET /blogs/posts or POST /blogs/posts.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used to identify a post in URLs and checks (e.g., my-first-post).
A single blog entry containing content, metadata, and publication status.
Create a workflow that publishes a blog post to your site automatically once it’s approved, synchronizing title, content, and metadata.
When a post goes live, automatically share summaries to Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook through connected apps.
Push a generated blog excerpt to your email service to populate newsletters on a schedule or trigger.
Enter your API token, test the connection, and save the credentials securely within Zapier App Connector.
Choose GET /blogs/posts as a trigger and POST /blogs/posts as an action to automate publishing workflows.
Create a test workflow, run end-to-end tests, and activate the automation for ongoing use.
Blogs API uses token-based authentication. Generate an API token, keep it secure, and include it in requests to authorize access. In Zapier App Connector, you can store and reuse this token across steps without exposing it in your workflow. Always test authentication after setup to confirm access rights. The token may be rotated periodically; ensure your connection is updated accordingly.
The core endpoints include reading posts (GET /blogs/posts), creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). Additional endpoints expose categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). You can mix these in triggers and actions to build end-to-end publish-and-distribute workflows.
Yes. You can automatically publish new posts or update existing ones from your app by configuring POST /blogs/posts for creation and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates. Combine with content sources in Zapier to push new drafts directly to Blogs API when ready.
No extensive coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to configure connections, triggers, and actions. You can map fields from your source app to Blogs API fields and set up multi-step automations without programming.
Slug management can be validated using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If a slug exists, you can auto-generate a unique slug or prompt for human review within your workflow to avoid collisions.
Rate limits depend on your API plan. Plan for retries with backoff in your Zapier workflow and implement idempotent actions where possible to prevent duplicate posts during retries.
Test using Zapier’s built-in test function and sandbox data. Verify authentication, data mapping, and end-to-end flow (trigger from Blogs API to action in your destination) before enabling live automations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
