Use secure OAuth client credentials or an API key provided by the Blogs API project. Store credentials safely in Mercury and rotate them regularly.
Mercury uses API keys or OAuth tokens to authorize with the Blogs API. Ensure scopes align with your needs and never expose credentials publicly.
Key Blogs API endpoints covered: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/author.readonly, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Trigger when a draft in Mercury is ready to publish, then create a post in Blogs API.
Actions: map Mercury fields to blog post fields, call POST /blogs/posts, set status to published, return postId.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categories, tags
Trigger when post details are edited in Mercury, propagate changes to Blogs API.
Actions: map updated fields, call PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, refresh metadata, confirm success.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, tags, status
Trigger before publish to verify slug uniqueness.
Actions: call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, handle true/false, adjust slug or abort publish.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Build and automate blog workflows without writing code.
Automatic data synchronization between Mercury and Blogs API.

Glossary of terms for API connections, authentication, endpoints, and data fields you will encounter when linking Blogs API with Mercury.
The GHL API provides programmatic access to your Go High Level style workflows for marketing and CRM data.
The Mercury app represents the external application integrated with GHL via the Blogs API to automate blog tasks.
A URL-friendly version of your post title used in the blog post URL.
Authorization framework used to grant access to the Blogs API without sharing user credentials.
Automatically pull ideas from a content calendar and publish drafts to Blogs API.
Sync status changes back to Blogs API to keep readers informed.
Validate slugs automatically and generate SEO-friendly URLs before publishing.
Create an API key or OAuth client in the Blogs API developer console and note credentials.
Add credentials to Mercury’s Blogs API connection and test the auth flow.
Make sample requests to POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to verify data flow.
No deep coding is required. Use Mercury’s built‑in connectors to map fields to Blogs API endpoints and automate publishing. If you’re comfortable with basic data mapping, you can set up most workflows without custom code. For advanced flows, small scripts can be added, but they are optional.
You’ll typically use API keys or OAuth tokens. Keep credentials secure and grant only the required scopes. Rotate credentials periodically and store them in Mercury’s secure vault or credential manager.
Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/categories for taxonomy. Depending on your needs, you may also use GET /blogs/authors or GET /blogs/author.readonly for author data.
Slug collisions can be avoided by validating with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If a slug exists, generate a new slug or append a unique suffix. You can automate this check within Mercury’s workflow.
Yes. You can schedule posts by creating the post with a publish date in the Blogs API and triggering a later publish action. Mercury can orchestrate the timing and status updates.
Use test endpoints and a sandbox or staging environment. Create sample posts, verify field mappings, and check error responses. Validate authentication and permissions before deploying to production.
API credentials are shown in your Blogs API developer console. Refer to the Blogs API docs for endpoint details, required scopes, and example requests. Store credentials securely and keep docs handy for future updates.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
