Securely authorize Rankr to access the Blogs API using API keys or OAuth tokens. This ensures endpoints like create and update posts are protected and auditable.
Rankr stores credentials securely and uses the same authentication method to talk to the Blogs API, including key rotation and least privilege access.
Key endpoints involved in this integration include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET blogs/authors; GET blogs/categories; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts; blogs/post.write; blogs/post-update.write; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger a new blog post when a Rankr task reaches a defined milestone.
Actions include creating the post via POST /blogs/posts and optionally publishing or saving as draft.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author_id, publish_date
Rankr edits in its CMS can update existing blog posts.
Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update fields; pull current slug for consistency.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Schedule a Rankr task to publish a post at a future date.
Create with a publish_date via POST /blogs/posts and use scheduling to publish at the specified time.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, publish_date
Automate content creation and updates without writing code.
Keep blog data in sync across Rankr and the Blogs API for consistent publishing.
Launch faster with ready-to-use triggers and actions that require no custom scripting.
This section covers the core terms and processes used to connect the Blogs API with Rankr through GHL, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields.
A set of rules that lets Rankr talk to the Blogs API to perform actions like create, update, and fetch posts.
A specific URL on the Blogs API used to perform a function.
Authentication to verify that Rankr’s requests are legitimate.
A URL friendly, unique identifier for a blog post.
As tasks are created in Rankr, draft blog posts populate automatically in the Blogs API.
Automatically propagate edits from Rankr to blog posts via PUT requests.
Tie Rankr schedules to publish dates and automate release of posts.
Obtain credentials and authorize Rankr to access the Blogs API securely.
Connect Rankr workflows to endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Run tests, verify field mappings, and monitor for errors before going live.
You can manage blog posts with endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. Retrieve authors and categories with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to correctly attribute posts. For related email workflows, endpoints like GET emails/builder and POST emails/builder data may be used where email templates are part of your content process.
Authentication is typically handled via API keys or OAuth tokens. Rankr should securely store credentials and request access tokens when calling Blogs API endpoints. Use least privilege scopes to limit what Rankr can do, and rotate credentials regularly. Ensure all calls occur over HTTPS and that tokens are refreshed before expiry to avoid interruptions.
Yes. You can schedule posts by including a publish_date when creating a post via POST /blogs/posts and using the API to publish at the specified time. You can also adjust publish dates later with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and monitor scheduled status through the Blogs API.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. Plan for bursts during campaigns and implement retry logic with exponential backoff. If you hit limits, stagger requests or explore higher tier access where supported. Always log throttling events to adjust your workflow.
Yes. You can fetch author data with GET /blogs/authors and category data with GET /blogs/categories. Map this data in Rankr to assign authors and categorize posts automatically, ensuring taxonomy consistency across platforms.
Map fields like slug and publish_date by aligning Rankr fields to the Blogs API payload. For example, title maps to title, content to content, slug to slug, and publish_date to the publish_date field. Validate slug uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creation.
Logs for failed API calls can be found in your Rankr integration logs and the Blogs API response payloads. Enable detailed logging, capture error codes and messages, and set up alerts for repeat failures to diagnose and fix issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
