Authenticate using OAuth2 tokens or API keys issued for the Blogs API. Ensure your token has scopes aligned to your use case (emails/builder.readonly is a sample scope from the CSV). Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Rankr uses the provided API key or OAuth credentials to access the GHL Blogs API. Keep credentials private and configure access at the account level to control which app features can trigger actions.

Faster time-to-value by automating repetitive publishing and categorization tasks.
Consistent data across Rankr and Blogs API reduces manual errors.
Scalability as your blog output grows without adding developers.
Understand the core concepts: endpoints, triggers, fields, and processes that drive the GHL-Blogs API integration.
A specific URL path in the API that performs an action, such as creating or retrieving a blog post.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used to create readable, SEO-friendly URLs.
An event that starts an automation, such as a new draft or status change.
Methods to prove identity and permissions, typically API keys or OAuth tokens.
Automatically assemble a weekly set of drafts and publish them via POST /blogs/posts to keep your blog fresh without manual steps.
Pull author performance data from Blogs API (GET /blogs/authors) and display in Rankr dashboards for smarter content decisions.
Automatically generate and validate SEO-friendly slugs using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing.
Obtain an API key or OAuth tokens for the Blogs API and grant access to Rankr.
Choose endpoints like GET /blogs/categories, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to enable core publishing workflows.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data integrity, monitor logs, and enable automation in production.
You can set up non-coding automation using the built-in connectors. The key is selecting the right triggers and actions to align Rankr drafts with Blogs API publishing. This approach minimizes manual steps and reduces errors.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to publish, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness, and GET /blogs/categories to organize content. You can also use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts as needed.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability before publishing. If the slug exists, you can modify it or generate a new one automatically within Rankr.
Yes. By syncing GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors, Rankr can maintain up-to-date references in your content workflows, ensuring consistency across platforms.
Security best practices include using OAuth tokens or API keys with restricted scopes, rotating credentials regularly, and storing secrets in a secure vault.
Enable logging for API calls, set up alerts on failures, and periodically verify data parity between Rankr and the Blogs API.
You can adjust scheduling and visibility during the publish action by configuring rate limits, publication times, and status transitions in Rankr’s automation rules.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
