Use the Blogs API key provided by GHL to authorize Rankr requests. Store credentials in a secure vault within the Zapier App Connector and rotate keys regularly to maintain security.
Rankr authenticates to GHL using a secure API key exchange and, where supported, OAuth 2.0. Maintain a least-privilege scope and rotate credentials on a schedule.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET blogs/author.readonly, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Trigger: a new or edited Rankr article is ready, which then uses POST /blogs/posts to publish.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create the post, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and set status to published.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, author_id, excerpt, tags, status
Trigger: new or updated email template in GHL updates Rankr templates.
Actions: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, map subject, content, and preview to Rankr templates.
GET emails/builder
Key fields: templateId, name, subject, content, locationId
Trigger: content ready in Rankr for scheduling and publishing at a future date.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, publish_time, status
Automate end-to-end content workflows without writing code.
Centralize content planning and publishing in a single interface.
Accelerate onboarding with ready-to-use endpoints and triggers.
This glossary covers API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, data mapping, error handling, and testing steps for the integration.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform an action in an API.
An authorization framework that grants limited access via tokens without sharing user credentials.
HTTP callbacks that notify your app when events occur in the source system.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used to build human-readable URLs.
Trigger a weekly draft in Rankr and publish via POST /blogs/posts, then schedule for optimal times.
Pull latest posts into email templates using GET /emails/builder and map to campaigns automatically.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates and republish optimized URLs via scheduling.
Obtain your Blogs API key and configure credentials in Rankr’s Zapier app to establish trust between systems.
Select the endpoints you’ll use (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, GET emails/builder) and define field mappings.
Run connector tests, verify response data, and enable automation for production use.
The Blogs API provides programmatic access to blog content, posts, and templates within GHL. In Rankr, you can trigger post creation from new content, pull template data for email campaigns, and schedule posts for publication. Start by authenticating, then enable the required endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and POST emails/builder to enable content publishing and email workflows. Always validate data mappings and error handling during testing.
Publishing posts typically requires endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create a post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update its status or schedule. Ensure you include essential fields such as title, content, author_id, and publish timing. For campaigns, you may also need GET /emails/builder to fetch templates and map them to your Rankr campaigns.
Security relies on API keys or OAuth tokens issued by GHL. Store credentials securely in Rankr’s app connector, rotate keys regularly, and apply least-privilege access. Use encrypted storage and monitor for suspicious activity. If OAuth is available, prefer token-based flows over long-lived keys.
Yes. Data mapping lets you align Rankr fields (title, content, author, tags) with GHL endpoints (posts, templates, categories). Use field mappings in the connector to ensure the right data lands in the right place and handle type conversions where needed.
Test in a staging environment using the connector tester. Validate responses for each endpoint, confirm posts appear in the target location, and verify email templates render correctly. Iterate on field mappings until data flows smoothly.
If an endpoint returns an error, review the HTTP status code and response body. Common issues include authentication failures, validation errors, or rate limits. Implement retry logic and provide clear error messages to users.
Rate limits and quotas are defined by GHL for each endpoint. Check the API docs within your GHL account and monitor usage in Rankr’s connector dashboard. If you approach limits, stagger requests or batch actions where possible.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
