Securely authenticate requests using your API key and tokens. Keep credentials safe, rotate keys regularly, and apply the minimum necessary scope for this integration.
In Rankr, generate an API key scoped to Blogs API access, then connect using the provided credentials to enable seamless data flow between Rankr and Blogs API.
Core endpoints used in this integration include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts. Additional endpoints such as emails/builder may be leveraged for content migration and scheduling if needed. Refer to the Blogs API docs for complete references.
Trigger: a new draft is created in Rankr that should be published to the blog via Blogs API.
Actions: fetch the draft from Rankr, transform fields to match Blogs API, and publish to the blog with an appropriate publish date.
Methods/Endpoints: GET /blogs/posts to fetch drafts, POST /blogs/posts to publish.
Key fields: postId, slug, title, publishDate
Trigger: a post is updated in Rankr and needs syncing to Blogs API.
Actions: push updates to Blogs API, refresh metadata and slug if needed, ensure publication status remains correct.
Methods/Endpoints: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, lastModified
Trigger: a new draft in Rankr becomes a blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: create a new blog post in Blogs API with content, title, and metadata; set initial tags and categories.
Methods/Endpoints: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, authorId
Automate publishing workflows without writing code, saving time and reducing manual errors.
Centralize content planning and distribution from Rankr to Blogs API across channels.
Improve accuracy with a single source of truth for post metadata and scheduling.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, data mapping, error handling, retries, and ongoing monitoring of the integration.
A specific URL in the API used to perform an action, such as retrieving or creating a post.
The method used to verify identity and grant access to API resources, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the permalink.
A callback URL that receives events from the API in real time.
Pull drafts from Rankr into Blogs API and schedule publication.
Populate slug, meta descriptions, and tags from Rankr data.
Set reminders to review and update posts before publishing.
Obtain an API key from the Blogs API settings in Rankr and save securely.
Map Rankr fields to Blogs API fields and set up webhooks.
Run tests, verify data flow, and monitor for errors after going live.
No advanced coding is required. Rankr offers a straightforward setup with prebuilt actions and mappings to Blogs API. You can configure credentials, endpoints, and field mappings in the integration panel without writing custom code. If you need extra customization, you can use standard API calls to tailor the flow. In practice, most teams set up a couple of key mappings and automate publish dates, then rely on built-in monitoring to catch errors early.
Yes. You can schedule posts automatically by defining a publishDate in Rankr or via the Blogs API. Webhooks can trigger reminders or automated post rechecks to ensure timely publication. Test schedules in a staging environment to confirm timing, time zones, and recurrence fit your editorial calendar.
Essential endpoints include GET /blogs/posts to fetch drafts, POST /blogs/posts to publish new posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability, and GET /blogs/authors to pull author data. These endpoints cover creation, updates, and integrity checks for publishing posts from Rankr to Blogs API. Additional endpoints for categories and tags help organize content during the publish workflow.
API keys should be stored securely and rotated regularly. Use least-privilege scopes and never expose keys in client code. Enable logging and alerting for key usage anomalies. For extra security, consider IP whitelisting and using OAuth where available to reduce exposure of static tokens.
Absolutely. Use a sandbox or staging environment to test the end-to-end flow before going live. Validate data mappings, error handling, and retry logic. After testing, monitor live runs and adjust as needed based on real-world results.
If a publish attempt fails, the integration can retry with exponential backoff and log the error details. You can review error messages, retry manually, or requeue failed items. Setting up alerts helps your team quickly identify and resolve issues to maintain publishing continuity.
Logs can typically be found in Rankr’s integration dashboard and in the Blogs API request logs. Use these logs to trace payloads, endpoints hit, timestamps, and error codes. Set up alerts for repeated errors and monitor retry counts to keep the workflow healthy.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
