Authorizing requests from Rankr to Blogs API requires a valid access token (OAuth 2.0) or an API key. Store credentials securely in Rankr and refresh tokens as needed.
Configure a secure connection in Rankr by entering your Blogs API credentials, selecting the required scope, and testing the connection.

No extensive coding is required. Rankr provides no-code mappings to common Blogs API endpoints so you can connect quickly. For advanced automations, you can add simple scripts or use built-in field mappings. Start with the core posting flow and expand as needed. If you prefer low-code, you can augment the flow with conditional logic and basic transformations within Rankr or your chosen automation platform.
Essential endpoints for publishing are POST /blogs/posts to create, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate the slug. You may also use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content. For discovery, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help populate fields in Rankr forms.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update title, content, slug, or metadata. Rankr can track changes and push updates automatically when a post in Rankr is edited. Consider versioning if you need audit trails.
Slug validation checks whether the requested slug is already in use via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If approved, Rankr can proceed to publish with a unique slug or adjust automatically. This helps avoid duplicate URLs and preserves SEO.
Authors and categories can be retrieved with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. Rankr can assign authorId and categoryId during post creation or updates, keeping taxonomy aligned with your blog.
Yes. The integration is designed for no-code use, with clickable mappings and field selectors. If you need more control, you can extend with custom rules or lightweight scripting, but it remains functional without code.
Connection status and logs appear in the Rankr dashboard under Integrations. You can run test posts, view API responses, and monitor failure reasons to resolve issues quickly.
