A concise glossary of core terms and processes you’ll encounter when integrating the GHL Blogs API with Rankr.
An application programming interface that lets Rankr talk to the GHL Blogs API to retrieve and post data.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a post; used in slug-exists checks and SEO-friendly URLs.
The authorization standard used to grant Rankr secure access to GHL endpoints without sharing credentials.
A specific path in the API that performs a function, such as retrieving posts or updating templates.
Automatically generate email newsletters from new blog posts using GHL’s emails/builder templates and Rankr’s publishing hooks.
Use slug checks and metadata mapping to keep posts SEO-friendly and consistent.
Publish to Rankr and automatically share new posts to newsletters and social channels via Rankr workflows.
Create a GHL API integration for Blogs API with scope emails/builder.readonly and securely store the credentials.
Configure Rankr to call the specific endpoints you will use (emails/builder, blogs/posts, etc.).
Run test requests, verify data mapping, and activate the integration for production.
The Blogs API provides programmatic access to your GHL blogging features, including templates, posts, and categories. Rankr can connect to these endpoints to pull in templates for emails and push published posts back into your platform for distribution. This allows you to automate content workflows without manual data entry. In practice, you’ll authenticate once, then set up your first mapping between templates and posts to kick off automated syncs.
For a basic blogging flow you’ll typically use endpoints such as GET emails/builder to fetch templates, POST /blogs/posts to create posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata. These calls establish a minimal, functional integration footprint with room to expand.
Authentication involves creating API integrations on both sides. In GHL, obtain an API key or OAuth token with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). In Rankr, configure a new integration and paste the GHL credentials, then test connectivity. Regularly rotate credentials and monitor access from the Rankr dashboard.
Yes. You can update published posts using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, or re-create a post with POST /blogs/posts if needed. The slug-exists check helps prevent duplicates, and you can synchronize edits back to Rankr so all channels stay consistent.
Slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) prevent duplicate posts by verifying whether a slug is already in use. If a match exists, you can halt creation or update the existing post. This keeps URLs clean and avoids SEO penalties from duplicate content.
Logs and error details appear in Rankr’s integration monitoring panel and in GHL’s API access logs. Use these dashboards to diagnose failed calls, verify field mappings, and ensure tokens haven’t expired. Enable alerting to stay proactive about issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
