The Blogs API allows programmatic management of blog content, while the GHL connection enables triggering actions from GHL without writing code. By using the endpoints described, you can draft, publish, and update posts automatically from Rankr. This creates a seamless workflow where ideas captured in Rankr become published blog content in minutes. The combination streamlines content production and ensures consistency across channels.
No-code setup is possible using GHL’s automation features and predefined endpoints. You can configure triggers and actions without writing code. Some initial configuration in the Blogs API dashboard may be needed to grant scopes and verify credentials, but ongoing automation can be maintained in the GHL UI.
For basic creation you typically use POST /blogs/posts to create a new post and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure the slug is unique. You may also assign category and author using their respective endpoints. This setup enables a smooth draft-to-publish flow directly from GHL.
Yes. You can schedule posts by including a publishDate and status in the payload when calling POST /blogs/posts. You can also update an existing post to schedule it using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. This supports future-dated publishing as part of your automation.
Use API keys with scoped permissions and rotate credentials regularly; store them securely in GHL’s connected apps. Prefer OAuth where supported, with token refresh and least-privilege scopes to minimize risk.
If a slug already exists, check /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and adjust the slug before creating a post. Implement a fallback strategy to generate unique slugs and avoid conflicts.
