Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with your API key and the required scope emails/builder.readonly to securely access and manage blog content from RentCast.
To establish the connection, you’ll authorize RentCast to access your Blogs API account and grant the necessary scopes. Once connected, RentCast can create and manage blog content through approved endpoints.

Gain centralized analytics and reporting on posts created and updated via the integration.
Key terms and processes you’ll encounter when connecting Blogs API with RentCast are defined below.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allows software to talk to each other and exchange data.
A specific URL on an API that performs a defined action, such as creating or updating a post.
A URL-friendly, human-readable string derived from the post title used to form a web address.
A URL that is called when a specified event occurs in the source system to notify a destination system.
Pull your top blog posts from Blogs API and automatically send a weekly digest through RentCast emails to subscribers.
When drafting posts in RentCast, automatically generate SEO-friendly slugs and metadata using content from Blogs API.
Publish to RentCast newsletters and social channels whenever a Blogs API post is created or updated.
In RentCast, go to Integrations, select Blogs API, and authorize. Grant the requested scopes (including emails/builder.readonly) to enable content management.
Match Blog fields (title, content, slug, status) to RentCast fields and choose the endpoints to call for create and update (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId).
Run test posts, verify slug creation with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, check error handling, and flip to live when ready.
No. This integration is designed to be no-code friendly. Use the visual workflow editor to connect RentCast with the Blogs API, configure mappings, and automate actions without writing code. For more advanced customization, you can adjust parameters within allowed settings and export workflows if supported. In typical setups, you’ll rely on prebuilt triggers and actions to publish, update, and slug-check posts, keeping maintenance minimal.
Yes. This page highlights the core endpoints involved in the integration: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors. These endpoints enable content creation, updates, slug validation, and data retrieval for categories and authors. You can extend mappings as needed within the supported interface.
To test the integration, run a few test posts from RentCast and review API responses. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to confirm slug uniqueness before publishing. Check status codes and error messages in the integration logs to iterate on mappings and field alignment.
Yes. You can publish drafts or finalized posts depending on your workflow. Set the post status (e.g., draft or published) when calling POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to reflect the desired state.
The required scope shown is emails/builder.readonly for read access. If you need to create or update posts, you’ll also grant write-related scopes during OAuth consent. Always follow the principle of least privilege for security.
Slug conflicts are common when automating posts. Use the slug-exists endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify availability before publishing. If a conflict occurs, generate an alternate slug or adjust the post data and retry with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or POST /blogs/posts as appropriate.
Integration activity and logs can be viewed in RentCast’s integration dashboard and, where available, within the Blogs API portal. Look for request/response histories, success/failure statuses, and timestamps to diagnose issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
