The Roam Research + Blogs API integration automates content flow between Roam and your blog content. It uses triggers to detect new or updated posts and actions to mirror changes in the other app. This keeps both systems aligned without manual copy-paste.
Key endpoints are used to read and write posts, categories, and authors, plus endpoints to verify slug availability and status. Use a combination of GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE as needed to sync data and maintain consistency.
