Access to the Blogs API is secured with API keys or OAuth options. Generate a dedicated API key in the Blogs API dashboard and grant it the permissions you need for posts, categories, and authors. Store credentials securely in Zapier.
Connect your PDF4me account by providing a secure API key in your Zapier connection and linking it to the Blogs API credentials. Use environment variables for production and rotate keys regularly.

In Blogs API, generate an API key and define the minimum required scopes for read access to posts and categories
In Zapier, create a new Zap and connect the Blogs API and PDF4me accounts using your credentials
Test the workflow end-to-end, verify PDF outputs, and enable automatic runs
The Blogs API lets you manage blog content, including posts, categories, and authors. When connected to PDF4me, you can automatically convert new or updated posts into PDFs for distribution or archive. This integration is designed to be easy for non-developers using Zapier. The API exposes endpoints for posts, categories, and authors that you can leverage in automations.
Authentication for both services typically uses API keys or OAuth tokens. In Zapier, securely store keys in a connected account and rotate them as needed. Keep credentials safe and limit scopes to what you need. If you enable webhooks, you can rotate keys without downtime.
Endpoints you will encounter include GET /blogs/posts to read posts, POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slugs. PDF4me actions generate PDFs from blog content, while endpoint list covers categories and authors to enrich automation and routing.
Yes. You can generate PDFs for multiple posts at once by fetching a batch of posts and running a batch PDF workflow. Use a scheduled trigger (emails/schedule) or a Zapier multi-step flow to batch process posts and store the results.
Generated PDFs can be stored in PDF4me, emailed to recipients, or attached to client portals depending on your setup. You can also use hosting or cloud storage links to share the PDFs and track delivery in Zapier.
Common errors include missing credentials, invalid endpoints, or insufficient scopes. Zapier logs help diagnose issues quickly. Retry logic is built into Zapier for transient failures; for persistent problems, re-check API permissions and endpoint paths.
No coding is required. The integration uses Zapier triggers, actions, and built-in mapping to connect Blogs API with PDF4me. If you need advanced logic, you can add filters, paths, and delays within Zapier without touching code.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
