The Blogs API exposes endpoints to publish, update, and manage blog content. When connected with Netlify, you can automate the flow from content creation to publication. Use the key endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to manage posts and extend with emails for notifications.
No coding is required if you use built-in connectors and webhooks. Netlify triggers can be linked to Blogs API actions in a no-code setup. For advanced needs, you can customize with API calls and specific endpoints as required.
Yes. You can automate both content publication and email notifications. Create a workflow that posts to Blogs API and triggers email sending. This helps you keep readers informed as soon as new content goes live.
The most important endpoints for publishing are POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates. Other useful endpoints include PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates and GET /blogs/authors for author data.
Authenticate with Blogs API using an API key or OAuth token. Netlify uses API tokens or the App Connector for secure access. Store credentials securely in vaults or environment variables. Always follow least-privilege best practices to minimize risk.
Implement retries with backoff for transient errors (5xx) and handle 4xx responses with clear alerts. Use idempotent requests where possible to avoid duplicate actions. Log failures and monitor dashboards to quickly diagnose issues.
API documentation is available on the Blogs API docs site and in the integration reference for Netlify. Look for endpoint definitions, authentication guides, and example workflows. You can also consult the developer portal for sample payloads and error codes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
