Authenticate to the Blogs API using your GHL credentials. Obtain an access token with the scope emails/builder.readonly to read post data and with write scopes for creating or updating posts.
Securely authenticate Rankr to call the Blogs API. Use your app client ID and secret, rotate credentials regularly, and follow least-privilege principles.
Endpoints include: GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: When a new post is created in Rankr, call POST /blogs/posts to create the post in Blogs API.
Actions: validate slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creation; set title, content, slug, category, and author.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: Before publishing, check slug exists with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: use GET to verify, then POST /blogs/posts if available.
Methods: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: slug, title, categoryId
Trigger: When category or author updates occur in Rankr, sync with Blogs API.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate dropdowns; assign in POST /blogs/posts.
Methods: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: categoryId, authorId, postId
Automate blog publishing and updates without writing code.
Keep content synchronized across platforms and teams.
Speed up workflows with reusable templates and triggers.
Key elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields. Typical processes: authentication, data mapping, error handling, and testing.
An article or entry intended for publication on a blog.
A URL-friendly version of the post title used for routing and SEO.
A grouping for posts that helps organize content and navigation.
The person credited as the writer of the post.
Automatically compile top posts and publish a weekly digest.
Use slug checks and metadata to generate SEO-friendly drafts.
Automatically share new posts to social channels via Rankr triggers.
Obtain credentials and set the appropriate scopes (e.g., emails/builder.readonly and write) for your integration.
Translate Rankr fields like title, content, slug, and category into Blogs API fields. Connect endpoints for creating and updating posts.
Run tests against each endpoint, verify responses, and monitor errors and retries.
To create a blog post, use POST /blogs/posts with the required fields. If your slug already exists, you will receive a conflict error and can use the slug-exists check to pick a unique slug. Ensure your request includes title, content, categoryId, and authorId. The API will return a postId upon successful creation. In case of validation errors, review the payload and required fields. The second paragraph discusses validating responses using standard HTTP status codes and retry strategies for rate limits.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating a post. If the slug exists, generate an alternate slug or update the existing post. This helps prevent duplicate content. You can also incorporate this check into your automation workflow to prevent collisions. In case of a collision, consider updating the slug and retrying the create call.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update title, content, slug, or metadata. You can also update category or author using the same post endpoint. After updating, you may want to publish changes or re-index for SEO. Always verify the response and ensure the postId matches the item you intended to update.
Endpoints for categories include GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/category.readonly to fetch lists for dropdowns. Use POST /blogs/categories if supported to add new categories. If your plan doesn’t include POST for categories, fetch existing ones and map only.
Authenticate using OAuth-like flow or API keys as provided by GHL. Use Least Privilege and rotate credentials regularly. Store tokens securely. If your app uses JWTs, ensure proper audience and expiry checks. Keep credentials out of code and use a secure vault.
Rate limits vary by endpoint. Generally expect a reasonable allowance; if you hit limits, implement exponential backoff and handle 429 responses gracefully. Consider batching requests where supported and caching repeated GET responses to minimize calls. Monitor quota usage in the GHL console.
If you encounter errors, check request payloads, endpoint paths, and scopes. Review logs in Rankr and your GHL app to identify mismatches. Ensure your app is authorized for the correct environment (sandbox vs. production). Use retry logic and structured error handling to recover from transient issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
