Obtain required keys or OAuth credentials from Blogs API and configure in Zapier.
In Zapier, select the Blogs API app and complete the authentication flow using the credentials.
Create a Zap that creates or updates blog posts and schedules them for publishing.
To connect, you’ll need valid credentials for Blogs API and a Zapier account. In Blogs API, enable API access and generate an API key or OAuth client, then save these credentials securely. In Zapier, add the Blogs API app and create a connection using those credentials. Once connected, you can test triggers and actions to confirm connectivity.
For publishing, use POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. Retrieve existing posts with GET /blogs/posts. For slug checks, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. These are the common building blocks for publishing workflows.
Store credentials securely in Zapier using the built-in authentication options and never hard-code keys. Prefer OAuth where possible and implement least-privilege access scopes. Rotate credentials regularly and monitor access logs.
Yes. Schedule posts by including a publish date in the post payload or by using Zapier’s Schedule and Delay actions to trigger publishing at a future time. Some setups also leverage post metadata to control timing.
Blogs API typically enforces rate limits. Plan flows to minimize calls, batch requests when possible, and implement retry with backoff. Cache frequently retrieved data to reduce repeated requests.
Yes, you can create categories and authors via endpoints if supported (e.g., POST /blogs/categories, POST /blogs/authors). When available, provide fields such as name, slug, and description. If the API uses only updates, use the corresponding update endpoints.
If you run into issues, check both Zapier task history and Blogs API logs for error messages. Verify credentials, endpoint availability, and that the connected app has required scopes. Enable webhooks or test connectivity to diagnose network issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
