Pathwright authenticates to the Blogs API using a dedicated API key with the appropriate scopes. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly to maintain a strong security posture.
In Pathwright, generate and securely store an access token or API secret to authorize calls to the Blogs API. Use environment variables or a secrets manager for security.
Examples include GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/posts. These endpoints power blog creation, updates, slug checks, and author/category retrieval for Pathwright workflows.

Definitions for API endpoint, trigger, action, mapping, slug, and related terms used throughout this guide.
A defined URL path and HTTP method used to perform a specific operation in an API.
An event or condition that starts an automation.
An operation performed in response to a trigger.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a post.
Whenever a Pathwright draft is published, automatically create a corresponding blog post in the Blogs API.
Automatically update the blog slug in Pathwright when the Blogs post slug changes.
Push author data from Blogs API to Pathwright to assign authors to posts.
Create API credentials and align scopes (blogs and emails as needed).
Choose Pathwright events to trigger blog actions, such as draft publish or post update.
Map title, content, slug, and author fields between Pathwright and Blogs API; run tests to verify results.
No-code options exist for this integration. Many no-code platforms provide presets and templates to map Pathwright events to Blogs API actions without writing code. If you need advanced logic, you can layer in custom scripts or webhooks as needed. Always start with a dry run to confirm field mappings and data types. In more complex scenarios, a developer can extend the workflow with additional validation, error handling, and custom field transformations to ensure data integrity.
The most commonly used endpoints are POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent slug collisions, and GET /blogs/authors to fetch author data. Supplementary endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/posts help keep metadata in sync and enable richer content workflows.
Use API keys or OAuth-style tokens with scoped permissions. Store credentials securely in a vault or secrets manager, rotate keys regularly, and apply least-privilege access. Use request headers over query strings for better security and monitor usage for unusual activity. When testing, use a sandbox environment or test accounts to prevent accidental data changes in production.
Yes. If properly mapped, edits in Pathwright can reflect in Blogs API through update calls (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId). Ensure two-way synchronization is enabled and you have conflict resolution rules so edits don’t override updates unexpectedly. Consider versioning and soft-deletes to preserve data history during synchronization.
Slug conflicts can occur if the same slug is produced by Pathwright and Blogs API. Implement a slug check (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) before publishing and auto-adjust slugs with a canonical naming strategy. Maintain a central slug registry to avoid duplicates.
Author data can be synced by pulling from GET /blogs/authors and pushing to Pathwright as needed. Map authorId, name, and bio fields to ensure correct attribution across systems. If Pathwright supports it, maintain a link or reference ID to keep mappings stable.
If an endpoint returns an error, review the response code and error message to determine the root cause (authentication, permissions, invalid payload, or rate limits). Implement retry logic with backoff and display clear UX guidance for manual intervention when automated retries fail.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
