Choose the required endpoints, map fields, and set up triggers for drafts and publishing.
Run tests, verify data flows, and go live with scheduled posts.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints for creating, updating, retrieving posts, categories, authors, and slug checks. Use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. You can also check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. For reading data such as categories and authors, use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. Refer to the ENDPOINTLIST for a complete set.
Authentication is typically performed with an API key or OAuth credentials. In Meet Alfred, securely store tokens and apply the principle of least privilege by granting only the needed scopes. Follow best practices for rotating credentials and using secure storage. If your organization uses OAuth, ensure the redirect URIs are whitelisted and that the token scope includes read and write access to blog data as required by the workflows.
Yes. You can check slug availability before publishing by calling GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug already exists, you can modify the title to generate a unique slug or adjust the slug using your slug generation policy. This guard helps prevent duplicate URLs and preserves SEO integrity for your posts.
Scheduling posts is supported by updating the post’s publishDate or status via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can set a future publishDate and trigger the Go-Live flow when the time arrives. Combine this with Meet Alfred’s calendar signals to align publishing times with your content calendar and audience engagement windows.
Categories are retrieved with GET /blogs/categories and can be assigned to posts during creation or updates. Authors are retrieved with GET /blogs/authors and can be linked to posts via authorId. This allows you to organize content and attribute posts properly within blogs.
Required scopes depend on the actions you perform. Read access to posts, categories, and authors typically uses read-only scopes, while creating or updating posts requires write access such as POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Always apply the principle of least privilege.
APIs evolve over time; if an endpoint changes, update your integration mappings in Meet Alfred to reflect the new path or method. Subscribe to developer notices from the Blogs API and test changes in a staging environment before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
