The GHL Blogs API exposes endpoints to manage blog content, templates, and emails. It enables programmatic creation and updates of posts, drafts, authors, and categories. By connecting to Livestorm, you can trigger content actions from events and signups to automate campaigns and updates. This pairing helps ensure your blog and campaign data stay in sync without manual steps.
Yes. You typically need a developer or admin account with access to the Blogs API scopes (such as emails/builder.readonly). You will also configure OAuth or API keys with proper scopes. This ensures only authorized workflows can read templates or post data.
Essential endpoints include GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule for email campaigns, POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability, GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to fetch taxonomy data, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for slug checks. Depending on your workflow, you may also use POST /emails/builder/data or similar for content data.
Absolutely. You can trigger a new blog post from Livestorm events or signups and publish or schedule posts using the Blogs API. This enables real-time announcements and post workflows aligned with event campaigns.
Yes, the API enforces rate limits. Plan your calls, batch actions where possible, and implement retry logic with exponential backoff. Monitoring and logging help identify bottlenecks.
Secure authentication is achieved using API keys or OAuth 2.0. Never expose credentials in client-side code. Use server-side workflows, rotate keys regularly, and scope permissions to only what you need (e.g., emails/builder.readonly).
Test by using sandbox or test endpoints first, verify payload formats, and validate data mappings. Use mock data, run end-to-end tests, and monitor responses before deploying to production.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
