Use your API key or OAuth token to authorize requests to the Blogs API. Store credentials securely in Rankr’s connectors panel.
Rankr uses the standard API key method or OAuth flow to authenticate with the Blogs API. Keep credentials rotated and scoped to the needed endpoints.
Endpoint examples include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts, and other read/write endpoints as listed in the provider docs.
Trigger: a new blog draft is created in Rankr.
Action: POST /blogs/posts to create a blog entry, then verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author_id, category_id, slug
Trigger: a published or updated post in Rankr.
Action: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; optional GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to adjust slug.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, author_id, category_id, slug
Trigger: Rankr requests up-to-date author data.
Action: GET /blogs/authors to retrieve author list.
GET /blogs/authors
author_id, name, bio
Automate blog creation and updates without writing code.
Keep content metadata in sync across systems.
Accelerate publishing workflows with reliable triggers.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping between Blogs API and Rankr.
A specific URL combined with an HTTP method to perform an action in an API.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a resource, like a blog post.
Methods to verify who is making a request, such as API keys or OAuth tokens.
A callback URL that receives event notifications from an API.
When a new draft is created in Rankr, automatically create a post in Blogs API.
Fetch author data from Blogs API and map to Rankr author fields.
After publishing in Blogs API, replicate the post to social channels or newsletters via Rankr.
Generate an API key or OAuth token for Blogs API and configure in Rankr.
Map title, content, slug, author, and category fields between Rankr and Blogs API.
Run test workflows, verify creation, updates, and slug handling, then deploy.
Yes, you typically need at least a basic API key or OAuth setup. No coding required if your platform provides a visual connector; in Rankr, you can paste the API key into the Blogs API connection panel. If you need more advanced logic, you can use filters and multi-step actions in Rankr to tailor when and how data is sent to Blogs API.
Essential endpoints for basic sync include GET /blogs/posts to fetch posts, POST /blogs/posts to create, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Also include GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to populate options in Rankr.
To handle duplicate slugs, enable a slug check via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating; if the slug exists, auto-append a sequence or use a unique ID. You can also update the slug after creation to ensure uniqueness.
Yes, use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to fetch latest choices. Map them to Rankr fields so that when you assign an author or category, you use the IDs from the API.
Auth with API key or OAuth; store securely; renew tokens as needed; ensure the app has appropriate scopes. Follow security best practices like least privilege and regular key rotation.
Use HTTPS, store credentials securely, use IP allowlists, and monitor usage. Consider rate limits and implement backoff strategies to avoid hitting caps.
API rate limits vary by plan; check your provider’s docs; if you hit limits, throttle requests or upgrade. Plan accordingly when designing your workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
