To securely access the Blogs API, generate an API key with the needed scopes and store it securely in Zapier. Use the appropriate blog endpoints such as posts, authors, and categories.
In Zapier, connect your Blogs API account by selecting the Blogs API app and providing the API key. Run a test connection to verify access.

Automate posting workflows without writing code.
Publish content to multiple channels with a few clicks.
Centralize content management from one place.
This section defines the main elements and processes used in these integrations: APIs, endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields.
API stands for Application Programming Interface, a set of rules that lets apps talk to one another.
An endpoint is a specific URL that exposes a function of an API.
A webhook is a way for apps to receive real-time data when something changes.
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a post title used in links and routes.
When a new blog post is published via the Blogs API, automatically share updates to Facebook, LinkedIn, and X using Zapier actions.
Generate brief summaries and push them to your email campaigns or newsletters.
Send real-time alerts to editors via Slack or Teams when a draft is ready for review.
Create an API key with access to posts, authors, and categories in Blogs API and note the key securely.
Add the Blogs API app in Zapier and supply your API key; run a test to verify the connection.
Create zaps with triggers and actions, test thoroughly, and turn them on.
The Blogs API includes endpoints for posts, authors, and categories, including creation and updating of posts. You can also test slug existence and category retrieval. These endpoints enable end-to-end content workflows from a single API. You can use Zapier to trigger actions when posts are created and to pull author information into your marketing stacks. Leverage the available endpoints to automate publishing, metadata updates, and cross-channel distribution without custom code.
No traditional coding is required to connect Zapier App Connector to the Blogs API. The Zapier interface lets you authenticate, map fields, set up triggers and actions, and test your Zaps. If advanced transformations are needed, simple code steps can be added, but most users achieve full automation with no-code.
Use the slug check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify that a post slug is available before creating or updating a post. This helps prevent conflicts and ensures clean URLs for your content. You can also automate slug checks as part of your post creation flow.
Yes. The Blogs API supports creating posts via POST /blogs/posts and updating them with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Zapier can trigger these actions from any connected workflow.
Commonly used authentication methods include API keys and OAuth tokens. In Zapier, you typically connect with your API key so that Zapier can access the endpoints required for your workflows. Protect keys and rotate them periodically.
Authors can be read with GET /blogs/authors and categories with GET /blogs/categories. You can sync these resources with Zapier to keep your marketing and content teams aligned across apps.
For more resources, consult the Blogs API documentation, the Zapier app connector docs, and the example workflows provided in this guide. You can also reach out to support for tailored templates.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
