An API is a set of rules that enables different software applications to communicate and exchange data.
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a post title used to form readable web addresses.
An endpoint is a specific route in an API that performs a task, such as creating or updating a post.
A webhook is a way for an app to receive real-time data from another app as events occur.

Map Mateo fields to Blogs API fields (title -> title, content -> content, etc.).
The Blogs API lets you programmatically manage blog content, including creating posts, updating content, and checking slug viability. It enables automation of publishing workflows from Mateo without touching code. By connecting Mateo to the API, you can kick off publishing actions from your editor, calendar, or automation rules. Leverage the endpoints listed in the integration guide to streamline your editorial process and keep content consistent across platforms.
Authentication is typically done via API keys or OAuth tokens. In Mateo, create a secure connection using the provided credentials, select the Blogs API as the target, and grant the required scopes for posting, updating, and slug checks. After setup, test calls to confirm success before going live.
Yes. You can configure Mateo to trigger scheduled publishing or updates. Use the blogs/post write and post update endpoints in combination with scheduling features to automate cadence and ensure timely releases.
Slug conflicts are prevented by checking slug existence before creating a post. If a slug already exists, the API can propose alternatives or automatically append a unique suffix. Always validate slug uniqueness during the workflow.
