Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to authenticate to the Blogs API from Rankr?

Authenticate to the Blogs API by providing a secure API key or OAuth-like token from the Blogs API platform. Store credentials securely in Rankr and rotate keys regularly to minimize risk. Use the scopes that match your needs (for example, emails/builder.readonly) to limit access to only what’s required. Regularly review permissions to ensure least-privilege access.

To publish a blog and manage emails, you’ll typically use endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and GET emails/builder to fetch templates. Map post data to Rankr fields, and coordinate templates and schedules via emails/schedule endpoints. This setup enables seamless publishing and synchronized email campaigns.

No heavy coding is required. The process is designed to be low-code, using pre-defined endpoints and mapping fields in Rankr. You’ll configure credentials, scopes, and endpoint mappings in the UI, then test the connections with sample requests. Some basic familiarity with REST concepts helps, but you can accomplish most tasks with point-and-click configuration.

Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability before publishing. If the slug exists, generate or propose a new slug and re-check. This prevents duplicate URLs and preserves clean SEO signals. Rankr can automate this check as part of your publishing workflow.

Yes. You can trigger email campaigns automatically when a new post goes live by linking the Blogs API post publish event to Rankr’s email builder workflows. This creates a seamless flow from content creation to subscriber outreach without manual steps.

Common pitfalls include mismatched data mapping, forgotten scopes, and failing to test error handling. Ensure fields from blog posts align with your email templates, keep credentials secure, and set up alerts for failed requests so you can respond quickly.

Monitor connection health via Rankr’s integration dashboard and your API provider’s status pages. Track usage metrics, error rates, and latency. Set alerts for credential expiry or unusual activity to maintain stable, reliable automation.
