Authenticate securely to the Blogs API using API keys or OAuth2. Store credentials safely, rotate tokens regularly, and apply the principle of least privilege to access blog data from Rankr.
Rankr uses standard OAuth2 flow to authorize access to the Blogs API. After granting consent, Rankr receives an access token to perform operations like creating or updating blog posts.
– GET emails/builder — Retrieve email templates (for notification workflows). – POST emails/builder/data — Submit email template data to the builder. – GET emails/schedule — Retrieve scheduled email tasks. – POST /blogs/posts — Create a new blog post in Blogs API. – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId — Update an existing blog post by ID. – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists — Check if a blog slug already exists. – GET /blogs/categories — Retrieve blog categories. – GET /blogs/authors — Retrieve blog authors. – GET /blogs/posts — List blog posts. – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId — Delete an email template by location and ID.

Create or update the corresponding post in Rankr and notify subscribers via email templates if configured.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, category, authorId, postId
Trigger when slug validation is required before publish.
Check slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and proceed to publish if available.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId
Trigger when a new author or category is added/updated in Blogs API.
Sync authors and categories to Rankr to ensure consistent taxonomy in content creation workflows.
GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories
authorId, categoryId, name
Zero-code automation: orchestrate blog publication and updates directly from Rankr without writing scripts.
Centralized content workflow: manage posts, categories, and authors in one place with real-time sync.
Fast iteration: test new post formats and SEO changes quickly using endpoint-based actions.
Key terms and processes referenced in this guide to help you navigate the integration between Rankr and the Blogs API.
An Application Programming Interface that allows Rankr to request and manipulate data from the Blogs API using standard HTTP methods.
A secure authorization framework used to obtain access tokens for API calls, ensuring permissions are scoped and time-limited.
Event-driven notifications sent by the Blogs API to Rankr to signal data changes like new posts or updates.
The URL-friendly version of a post title used to form readable, unique URLs for blog posts.
Publish blog posts and automatically queue newsletters via the email builder to keep audiences informed.
Check slug availability before publishing to prevent duplicates and improve SEO.
Synchronize authors and categories across systems to maintain taxonomy consistency.
Create API credentials in Blogs API and authorize Rankr to access your content data.
Map blog fields (title, content, slug, category, author) to Rankr fields for seamless publishing.
Run tests to ensure posts publish correctly, then deploy the automation to production.
Authenticate securely to the Blogs API using API keys or OAuth2, and store credentials safely. Rankr should request tokens with the least privileges necessary to perform its tasks. Keep credentials confidential and rotate them periodically to reduce risk of exposure.
Publishing a blog post typically requires POST /blogs/posts to create content. You may also need PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. Ensure title, content, slug, category, and author fields are correctly mapped. Use GET /blogs/posts to verify creation and capture the postId for future updates.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before publishing. This helps avoid duplicate URLs and preserves SEO integrity. If the slug exists, you can choose an alternative slug or update the existing post as needed.
No-code setup is possible when using standard API credentials and endpoint mappings. You can configure Rankr to call the Blogs API endpoints directly and map fields without writing code. For more complex workflows, light scripting or automation rules can be added, but it is not required.
Response limits and rate caps are defined by the Blogs API. Respect these limits by batching requests when possible and implementing retry logic with backoff. Monitor usage in the dashboard and adjust frequency as needed. If you hit a limit, consider staggering publishes or requesting higher quotas from API admins.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
