Authenticate your Blogs API calls with your API key and secret, ensure the requested scope is granted, and renew credentials regularly.
Set up Ninja Forms to authorize with Blogs API by using an App key, configuring redirect URLs, and granting necessary permissions.

No heavy coding is required. Use the Blogs API connection with Ninja Forms through a no code automation tool or direct API calls, and map fields to post data. If you need advanced logic, you can layer conditionals within the integration.
Creating posts typically uses POST /blogs/posts. You can include title, content, slug, excerpt, category_ids, and author_id. For updates use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to modify existing posts.
Slug existence is checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. It returns whether the slug is available. If not, generate a new slug or update the existing post.
Yes. You can update posts from Ninja Forms by sending PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with the new values. Include the target postId to apply changes.
You typically need scopes that allow reading and writing blog posts, such as blogs/post.write and blogs/post-update.write. Ensure your app has the correct permissions for the actions you perform.
Map the Ninja Forms fields to the blog post fields: title, content, excerpt, slug, category_ids, and author_id. Use a mapping tool or automation builder to align each field precisely.
APIs often enforce rate limits. Plan for batching or queuing submissions if you expect high volume and implement exponential backoff on errors.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
