Use your Blogs API credentials to authorize requests from Zapier. Depending on your setup you may use an API key or OAuth tokens.
Zapier uses OAuth2 or API key based credentials to connect to Blogs API. Set up the connection in Zapier with the required scopes.
POST /blogs/posts (create posts); PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update posts); GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (check slug existence); GET /blogs/categories (list categories); GET /blogs/authors (list authors). These endpoints enable end-to-end post management and taxonomy retrieval within Zapier automations.
Trigger on new post data from your CMS or on a scheduled run to publish to your blog.
Actions include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists).
Example: POST /blogs/posts with body containing title, content, slug, status, and optional publishDate.
Required fields: title, content, slug, status; optional: publishDate, categoryId, authorId.
Trigger when a new category or author is added or on a periodic synchronization.
Actions include listing categories (GET /blogs/categories), listing authors (GET /blogs/authors), and slug existence check (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists).
Example: GET /blogs/categories to populate menus; GET /blogs/authors to populate author fields.
Fields returned include id, slug, name, and description for categories and authors.
Trigger a future publish or adjust timing automatically based on date or status.
Actions include posting via POST /blogs/posts with publishDate and status set to scheduled.
Example: POST /blogs/posts with publishDate and status fields.
Key fields: publishDate, status, authorId, categoryId.
Automate publishing workflows without writing a line of code.
Centralize content operations in a single automation platform.
Speed up testing and deployment with live API endpoints.
This section defines blog posts slugs endpoints authentication and how data moves between Blogs API and Zapier.
A post published on your blog with a title, body and metadata such as publish date.
A URL friendly identifier used in the blog URL and slug checks.
A URL path plus HTTP method that performs an action on the service (create read update delete).
The method used to prove identity when calling the API (API key, OAuth token, etc.).
Connect your CMS to Blogs API to publish posts automatically when new content goes live.
Aggregate content from multiple sources and publish summary posts.
Automatically create author pages and link posts.
Add a new connection to Blogs API using your API key or OAuth credentials.
Select events like new post or slug exists and map fields.
Run tests and enable automation in production.
To connect Blogs API with Zapier, choose API credentials in Blogs settings and authorize the connection in Zapier. Once connected you can securely access endpoints from Zapier actions and triggers. If you encounter authentication errors re authorise or regenerate credentials from the Blogs admin panel. If using OAuth ensure the scopes include blogs/post.write and blogs/post-update.write.
Key endpoints include creating posts via POST /blogs/posts updating posts via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and slug checks via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You can also fetch categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate mappings in Zapier.
Yes you can check slug existence before publishing. Call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the slug; if it exists, adjust the slug and retry. This prevents duplicate URLs and broken links.
List endpoints return categories and authors. Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to pull metadata and populate dropdowns in your Zapier workflows. Map categoryId and authorId in your create post action.
Rate limits vary by plan. If you approach limits, implement retries with exponential backoff and batch requests where supported. Check response headers for remaining quota.
Zapier provides a testing environment to validate connections and workflows. Use test data to verify triggers and actions before going live. Enable dry run if available.
Common authentication issues include expired tokens, revoked credentials, or incorrect scopes. Reauthenticate, ensure the correct scopes are granted (for example blogs/post.write and blogs/post-update.write), and verify the API base URL and credentials.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
