Use your GHL API key to authorize requests and keep credentials secure.
Rankr uses your app credentials to securely authenticate with the GHL API and manage access tokens.
Available endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors and related read/write endpoints for emails and blogs.
Trigger: a new event in GHL signals that a draft is ready to publish in Blogs API.
Actions: assemble title, content, slug; assign author and category; publish the post.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, tags, status
Trigger: content changes in GHL require an update in Blogs API.
Actions: update title/content/slug as needed and re-publish.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categoryId, tags, status
Trigger: draft creation prompts a slug check and metadata fetch.
Actions: verify slug uniqueness, fetch authors and categories to populate fields.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories
slug, authorId, categoryId
Automate blog publishing without writing any code.
Keep blog data and authors in sync with your content calendar.
Leverage flexible triggers and actions to fit your publishing workflow.
Key elements and processes explained: endpoints, triggers, actions, keys, slug, categories, authors, and how they connect to Rankr.
The REST API that exposes resources such as emails, schedules, and blogs for integration with third-party apps.
A subset of GHL endpoints focused on creating, updating, and organizing blog content, categories, and authors.
Slug is the URL-friendly identifier used in a blog post’s link.
An HTTP callback that sends real-time data from one app to another when a defined event occurs.
Set a trigger in Rankr to publish a blog draft to the Blogs API when it’s approved, eliminating manual posting.
When a post is published, automatically create social post summaries via Rankr and link back to the blog.
Schedule a weekly recap blog generated in Blogs API, pulling top posts from Rankr.
Collect your GHL Blogs API credentials and Rankr app keys to establish trust between apps.
Select the endpoints you’ll use and set up triggers in Rankr to fire actions in the Blogs API.
Run tests to verify data flows: posts, categories, authors, and slug checks, then deploy to production.
Yes. Use OAuth2.0 or API keys as permitted for the GHL Blogs API, and keep credentials secure. Rotate keys regularly and monitor access. Use scoped tokens to limit what each connection can do. Always validate responses and implement error handling to prevent data loss. For added safety, store secrets in a secure vault and avoid embedding them in page content.
No traditional coding is required. The integration uses no-code triggers and actions within Rankr to work with the GHL Blogs API. If you are comfortable with basic configuration, you can set up endpoints, test connections, and automate publishing without writing code. If you need advanced logic, you can extend with custom fields or lightweight scripting, but it isn’t required.
Yes. You can schedule posts automatically by configuring a trigger that runs on a timer or calendar event and pushes content to the Blogs API. Use Rankr to define publishing windows and content cadence.
To publish, you’ll typically use POST /blogs/posts to create a post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update it. Depending on your flow, you may also pull slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and retrieve authors or categories with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories.
Authors and categories are managed via dedicated endpoints: GET /blogs/authors returns author data, and GET /blogs/categories returns category data. Use these to populate fields when creating or updating posts and to organize content.
Slug uniqueness matters for accessible URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check if a slug is already in use before posting, and adjust if needed. You can also enforce slug standards in Rankr to prevent duplicates.
API rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Monitor headers for remaining quotas and implement retries with backoff. If you expect high volume, consider batching requests or upgrading your plan.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
