Obtain an API key, set the required scopes for posts, authors, and categories, and securely connect the API to Zapier.
In Zapier App Connector, add a new connection using your Blogs API credentials and approve access to the available endpoints.

Add a connection using your Blogs API credentials and grant the required scope.
Select endpoints for posts, categories, and authors and wire them to triggers and actions.
Test your workflow, validate data flow, and deploy your automation.
The Blogs API provides programmatic access to create, update, and manage blog content, while the Zapier App Connector lets you build no-code automations that connect this API to your workflows. You authenticate once, then map triggers (like new content) to actions (like publish post). This pairing enables seamless publishing from your content sources into Blogs API without custom development. You’ll configure endpoints such as creating posts, checking slug availability, and querying categories or authors to fit your workflow.
No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector uses a visual editor to connect triggers, actions, and data fields. You configure the authentication, choose endpoints, and map data fields (title, content, slug, etc.) using simple drag-and-drop and field mapping. If you can design a workflow, you can set this up.
Essential endpoints for publishing a post include POST /blogs/posts to create a new post, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update an existing post. You’ll map these to Zapier triggers (like new content) and actions (publish, update, or schedule).
Slug validation checks that the URL-friendly identifier is unique. The integration can call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If the slug already exists, you can automatically generate a new slug or prompt for a manual adjustment in your workflow.
Yes. Scheduling is supported by mapping a publish-time field in your workflow to the post creation or update action. You can set a future publication date or schedule recurring posts directly in Zapier App Connector.
Absolutely. You can fetch authors and categories via endpoints like GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then map that data into your post creation or update steps to ensure accurate metadata and attribution.
In the Blogs API dashboard, generate an API key and select scopes such as posts, authors, and categories. Then copy the key into Zapier App Connector and save the connection. Access scopes ensure the connector can read and write the resources your workflow requires.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
