A concise glossary of terms used in this guide, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and slug checks.
A secret token used to authenticate requests to the Blogs API. Treat it like a password.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post, used to construct readable, SEO-friendly URLs.
A specific URL route you call to perform an action in the API, such as creating or updating a post.
The process of verifying identity to access the API, usually via API keys or tokens.
Automatically generate a blog post draft in Blogs API when a new subscriber signs up in Little Green Light.
Publish or update blog posts based on campaign events to keep content fresh.
Tailor posts to audience segments and improve search visibility.
Create or retrieve a Blogs API key and grant access to Little Green Light in your developer console.
Map fields between Little Green Light and Blogs API, and set up triggers for creation and updates.
Run tests, monitor logs, and adjust mappings before going live.
You can sync core blog data such as posts, authors, categories, and slug fields. Use the endpoints to read, create, or update blog content from Little Green Light data. Ensure data quality by validating required fields and handling errors gracefully. Additionally, plan for data governance and retries to maintain reliable content publishing.
Yes. You will typically need a developer or API access with permissions to use the Blogs API endpoints. Create a dedicated API key for this integration and restrict its scope to the necessary resources. If you use a platform like Zapier, you can authenticate using the API key within your workflow securely.
Slug conflicts occur when two posts share the same slug. Use the slug existence check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing, and implement a strategy to append a unique suffix if needed. Maintaining a consistent slug format helps preserve SEO and prevents publishing errors.
Yes. You can schedule posts by creating drafts and setting publish times via the Blogs API. Ensure your workflow includes a scheduling trigger or a time-based action to publish at the desired moment. Consider using a staging process to review content before it goes live.
The integration supports API key-based authentication (Bearer token) and can work within automation tools that pass the token with each request. For added security, rotate keys regularly and store tokens securely in your CI/CD or integration platform.
Test the integration in a sandbox or with a test blog/post dataset. Validate mappings, error handling, and slug checks. Monitor request logs and retry logic, and verify end-to-end publishing from Little Green Light to Blogs API.
Endpoint documentation is typically available in your Blogs API developer portal. You can also reference the endpoint list provided in this guide and consult the API reference for parameter details and response formats.
