GHL requires secure credentials with the scope emails/builder.readonly to read blog data and lead information. Use the generated access token to authorize API calls to manage posts, drafts, and related content.
Authorize your app to access the Blogs API within GHL by following the connector’s OAuth flow and securely storing the access token for subsequent requests. This keeps your Pinterest lead data and blog content in sync.
Endpoint highlights include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, GET /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, emails/schedule.readonly, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/authors. These endpoints enable lead capture, post creation, slug verification, category and author retrieval, and scheduling capabilities to support Pinterest Lead ads workflows.
When a Pinterest Lead Ad is captured, trigger a draft blog post creation in the Blogs API.
Actions include creating a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts and populating title and content from lead data.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, excerpt, keywords, lead_id
Trigger on blog post creation to fetch categories and authors from the Blogs API.
Associate category via GET /blogs/categories or POST /blogs/categories and assign author via GET /blogs/authors; apply to the post.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors

When new lead data arrives, create SEO friendly drafts and ensure slug uniqueness.
Actions include generating slug and posting to blogs with POST /blogs/posts and checking slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.

The Blogs API in GHL is a collection of endpoints that let you manage blog content, authors, categories and related metadata from your connected app. It enables programmatic creation and updating of posts as well as retrieval of supporting data for SEO and organization. This API is designed to work smoothly with Pinterest Lead Ads so you can convert lead data into publishable blog content with minimal effort. Use cases include turning a new Pinterest lead into a draft post, enriching posts with categories and author details, and validating slugs before publishing to ensure clean URLs.
Yes. The Blogs API is designed for no code or low code workflows when used with the GHL app connector. You can trigger actions from lead capture events and map fields to blog post attributes without writing server-side code. This accelerates content workflows and reduces maintenance overhead.
Key endpoints often used for Pinterest Lead ads include POST /blogs/posts to create drafts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts, and GET /blogs/posts to review existing content. Depending on your workflow, you may also update posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or assign categories and authors after creation.
Authentication uses OAuth style credentials with the scope required by the app. You will exchange client credentials for an access token, then include that token in API requests. Store the token securely and refresh as needed according to the provider’s TTL and refresh policies.
Start by testing endpoints in a safe environment. Use sample lead data to call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and POST /blogs/posts to verify post creation. Check responses, handle errors gracefully, and use logs to trace any integration issues.
Official docs for the Blogs API, sample use cases, and the App Connector guidance are available in the developer resources. You can also review example workflows, endpoint reference tables, and glossary terms to deepen your understanding of how the pieces fit together.
