This glossary covers the core data elements and processes you’ll use when connecting Blogs API with Rankr, including posts, slugs, authors, categories, and scheduling.
A blog post is a published article created in the Blogs API workspace and surfaced through Rankr automations.
A slug is the URL-friendly identifier derived from a post title for clean, readable URLs and SEO.
Post ID is the unique numeric or string identifier assigned by the Blogs API to each post.
Category references topics such as News, Tutorials, or Case Studies to organize posts and enable filtering.
Automatically generate blog outlines in Rankr based on email topics and pull the outline into Blogs API to accelerate drafting.
Set up a weekly publishing cadence where Rankr creates and publishes posts via Blogs API with automatic scheduling.
Automatically assign categories and tags based on content taxonomy when creating posts.
Connect Blogs API in Rankr using OAuth 2.0 or an API key; verify the connection.
Map required endpoints in Rankr: create posts, update posts, slug checks, and fetch authors/categories.
Create a Rankr workflow that triggers on events and uses Blogs API endpoints to manage posts from draft to publish.
To authenticate, start by generating API credentials from the Blogs API developer portal. In Rankr, add a new connection for Blogs API and choose OAuth 2.0 or API Key as your auth type. Save and test the connection to ensure you can access endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors. If you encounter permission errors, verify that your access token has the blogs write scope and your app is granted read/write access. For ongoing security, rotate credentials regularly and restrict scopes to only what’s needed for your workflows.
Available endpoints span blog creation, updates, slug validation, category and author retrieval, and post data management. Use the ENDPOINTLIST reference to select the exact endpoints you need for your Rankr workflows and tailor triggers accordingly. Combine endpoints like POST /blogs/posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to build end-to-end publish pipelines.
Yes. Scheduling is supported by creating a post with a publishDate and a published status via the Blogs API. You can also prepare posts in advance and push them to your publishing queue at the desired time. Automate scheduling within Rankr by setting time-based triggers that call the Blogs API to create or publish posts at the chosen cadence.
Yes. Slug checks ensure URL uniqueness before publishing. Use the slug check endpoints to validate a proposed slug and adjust as needed before final publish. This helps prevent URL collisions and preserves SEO-friendly links across your site.
