Yes. The Blogs API exposes endpoints for posts management such as creating posts (POST /blogs/posts) and updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), as well as a slug existence check (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) to prevent duplicates. In Zapier, you can map triggers and actions to these endpoints to automate publishing workflows.
Authentication typically uses API keys or OAuth. In Zapier App Connector, configure credentials securely and assign the appropriate scope for blog operations. Ensure you store credentials safely and rotate them as needed.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before publishing. You can also validate via GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly to enforce slug rules.
Yes. You can pull lists of categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors, respectively. Use these to assign posts accurately and enrich your workflows with author data.
Common required fields include title, content, and slug. Depending on your workflow, you may also need categoryId and authorId, with optional fields like excerpt or tags.
Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Plan accordingly in Zapier with retries and backoff to handle transient limits without failing workflows.
Post updates are typically done with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or alternative endpoints like POST /blogs/post-update.write depending on your setup. After updating, re-check the slug and published status to keep data in sync.
