Use secure API keys and OAuth scopes to authorize access to your Blogs API resources from Livespace. Start by generating an API key for the Blogs API, then grant Livespace the requested scope.
Livespace must authorize the connection to the Blogs API. Use OAuth or API key exchange to grant read/write permissions for blog posts, categories, and authors.
– GET emails/builder – emails/builder.write – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – emails/schedule.readonly – GET emails/schedule – blogs/post.write – POST /blogs/posts – blogs/post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/categories – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors

Trigger: Edits in Livespace trigger updates to existing Blogs API posts.
Actions: Update a post with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to keep title, content, and slug in sync.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: On-demand fetch of categories and authors to populate Livespace picks.
Actions: Retrieve lists via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: id, name, slug
Automate publishing workflows without writing code.
Keep content in sync in real-time across systems.
Centralized control and visibility for your blog content pipeline.
A quick glossary of terms and processes you’ll encounter when integrating the Blogs API and Livespace: Post, Slug, Category, Author, and related API operations.
A blog entry created or updated via the Blogs API and published to your site.
A URL-friendly identifier for a post, typically derived from the title.
The person or account responsible for writing the post.
A label used to group posts by topic or theme.
Automatically generate a weekly digest in Livespace and push as a blog post to the Blogs API for on-site and newsletter publication.
Draft posts in Livespace can be sent to Blogs API for review and automatic publishing when approved.
Build dashboards showing publish status, errors, and SLA; get alerts when a post fails to publish.
Generate API keys for the Blogs API and authorize Livespace to access the required endpoints.
Select endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/authors to map fields.
Run tests to verify data flow and publish to production once confirmed.
You should use API keys or OAuth for secure authentication with the Blogs API. Generate a key from your Blogs API dashboard and grant Livespace the necessary scopes for reading and writing posts. For long-term security, rotate keys regularly and store them securely in your Zapier connection settings. Ensure the authentication flow supports token refresh so the connection remains active without manual intervention.
To create and publish a post, you typically need POST /blogs/posts with fields like title, content, slug, and status. Map these from Livespace fields to the Blogs API payload. Additional fields such as author_id or categories can help categorize the post. After creation, verify the post appears on your blog and adjust mappings if you use drafts or scheduled publishing.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability before creating or updating a post. This helps prevent conflicts and ensures clean URLs. If a slug already exists, you can generate an alternative slug or update the existing post with a new slug as needed.
Yes. You can fetch lists of authors and categories with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. This enables you to populate dropdowns in Livespace and ensure posts are correctly categorized. Syncing these lists helps maintain consistency across your publishing workflow.
Required fields typically include title, content, and slug. The status field defines whether the post is published or a draft. Depending on your setup, you may also need an author_id and one or more category IDs. Always validate data before sending to avoid publishing incomplete posts.
Implement retries with exponential backoff for transient errors, and handle authentication refresh seamlessly. Log errors with context to diagnose content and field mismatches quickly. Consider rate limits and implement pacing to avoid hitting API quotas during bulk publishing.
There is typically no hard universal daily limit defined by the integration itself, but the Blogs API may impose rate limits. Monitor response headers for rate-limit and retry accordingly. If you anticipate high volume, contact support to discuss quota increases and optimal batching strategies.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
