To start, create an API key in the Blogs API dashboard and authorize Ko-fi to access your content using the required scopes (emails/builder.readonly).
Ko-fi will prompt you to authorize access to your Blogs API account. Sign in, grant the requested scopes, and return to Ko-fi to complete setup.

No coding experience is required for a basic setup. Use Ko-fi’s UI to authorize the Blogs API integration and configure mappings visually. If you need custom mappings or automation, adjust fields in the connector interface. For more advanced users, you can leverage optional API calls and field mappings to tailor the workflow to your needs.
A basic setup typically uses the posts-related endpoints to publish content and the slug check endpoint to avoid duplicates. Start with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs, and POST /blogs/posts to publish. If you need author or category info, fetch with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories as needed.
Yes. You can automate publishing Ko-fi posts when a blog draft is created or updated. Schedule the workflow or use a trigger so every new post is mirrored on Ko-fi. You can also set frequency and review steps to prevent duplicates.
Slug validation helps prevent duplicate or conflicting URLs. Use the slug check endpoint before publishing and, if needed, auto-generate a unique slug variant. Keep your slugs concise and descriptive for SEO.
Absolutely. The integration supports syncing multiple authors and categories by pulling data from GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories and mapping them to Ko-fi fields.
Rate limits depend on your plan and the API endpoints used. If you anticipate high volume, stagger requests and consider batching updates to stay within quotas.
To disconnect, remove the Ko-fi connection in the Blogs API integration settings and revoke access from Ko-fi. You can reauthorize later if needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
