No need to write custom scripts to fetch blog data or publish posts
Visual workflow builder maps data between Octoparse and Blogs API with ease
Scalable posting across multiple blogs and campaigns
Key elements and processes include endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and automated workflows between Octoparse and Blogs API.
An application programming interface that lets Octoparse communicate with Blogs API.
A URL-friendly version of the post title used to create a unique page address.
A real-time notification mechanism that informs apps about events like new posts or updates.
A specific URL on an API that performs an action, such as retrieving posts or creating a new one.
Configure Octoparse to scrape content and push drafts to Blogs API for quick publishing.

Create a simple workflow that pulls content and publishes a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Octoparse can pull post metadata, content blocks, categories, authors, and slug information from Blogs API. You can map these fields to your blog drafts and publishing payloads. You can also fetch existing posts to review updates and apply changes as needed. Use the slug existence check to avoid duplicates during publishing.
No coding is required if you use Octoparse’s no‑code workflow builder to map fields to the API payload. For more advanced logic, you can add simple expressions or conditional steps within the builder.
Essential endpoints for publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs, and GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to fetch supporting data for your posts.
Yes. You can schedule posts by using Blogs API publish timing in combination with Octoparse triggers to publish at predefined times.
Authenticate securely by using API keys with restricted scopes, store credentials safely in Octoparse, rotate keys periodically, and avoid embedding secrets in workflows or logs.
Absolutely. Map authors and categories automatically by pulling data from /blogs/authors and /blogs/categories and syncing it to Octoparse fields for consistent publishing.
Common errors include 401/403 authentication issues, 409 slug conflicts, and rate limiting (429). Resolve by refreshing credentials, confirming scopes, ensuring proper payload structure, and respecting API rate limits.
