You typically need a client ID and client secret or an API key plus proper OAuth scopes. In Novo, store credentials securely and never expose them in public pages. Use least privilege access to limit what the integration can do.
Yes. Novo can create and publish blog posts using the blogs posts endpoints. You can also configure templates and automations to trigger on publish without writing code. For advanced formatting, use minimal scripting via Novo automation features.
Test requests in a sandbox or staging environment. Check status codes and error messages, then log payloads for debugging. Use retries and exponential backoff to handle transient failures.
Initial setup typically includes authentication, endpoint mapping, and basic CRUD permissions for posts, categories, and authors. Start with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and GET /blogs/categories to confirm connectivity.
To check slug existence, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the slug you plan to use. If the response indicates the slug is available, you can proceed; if not, modify the slug and retry. Maintain a consistent slug strategy.
Adopt strong security practices such as role based access, rotating credentials, and using OAuth where supported. Restrict IPs, log access, encrypt secrets at rest, and monitor for unusual activity.
Endpoint documentation for Blogs API is available in the developer portal associated with the API. Access it via your Blogs API account, and use the reference and examples to map endpoints in Novo.
