This glossary defines API terms used here and explains how data moves between Blogs API and ParcelPanel, including authorization, endpoints, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules and endpoints that let ParcelPanel access the Blogs API data.
A specific URL for a particular action in the API, such as creating a post or fetching authors.
The process of proving identity to access the API, typically via OAuth 2.0 or API keys.

Create an API key and OAuth client in Blogs API and configure in Zapier with the correct scopes.
Choose the available triggers and actions and map data fields between Blogs API and ParcelPanel.
Run tests to ensure data integrity and error handling; deploy to production.
No heavy coding is required. This setup uses Zapier’s App Connector to map endpoints and triggers between Blogs API and ParcelPanel. You’ll configure a few fields and test mappings in a sandbox environment. If you’re familiar with basic API concepts, you’ll be productive quickly. If you need advanced logic, you can add simple conditional steps or filters in Zapier to tailor data flow to your exact workflow.
Common workflows include creating or updating blog posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), checking slug existence (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and validating slugs (GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly). You can also pull categories (GET /blogs/categories) and authors (GET /blogs/authors) to support content governance and author attribution.
Always run a test in a staging or sandbox account to verify field mappings and trigger behavior. Use sample data to ensure that post IDs, slugs, and content map correctly. After successful tests, enable logging and set up alerting for failures.
Supported authentication methods include OAuth 2.0 for the Blogs API and API keys where provided. Ensure the scope is set to at least emails/builder.readonly for read operations and add write scopes if you plan to publish or edit content.
Yes. You can map core fields such as title, slug, content, excerpt, postId, and authorId. Additional fields like categoryId and publishedDate can be mapped as needed for richer automation and SEO data.
Handle errors with built-in retry rules in Zapier and implement idempotent actions where possible. Log failures to a monitoring service and provide human-readable error messages for quick triage.
Documentation for the Blogs API and the ParcelPanel integration is available in the developer docs and the Zapier app connector guide. You can also reach out to support for tailored onboarding guidance.
