Auth to Blogs API uses OAuth 2.0. Create a client in the GHL developer portal and authorize ShareFile to access Blogs API resources.
Set ShareFile as an API client in GHL. Enter the client ID, client secret and redirect URL in the app settings and use the token to call Blogs API endpoints.
GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new file is uploaded to a ShareFile folder to start a draft blog post in Blogs API
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create the post; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure a clean slug
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author, slug, categories
Trigger: changes in ShareFile are detected and pushed to Blogs API
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to reserve slug; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; POST /blogs/posts to create when needed
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug
Trigger: a blog post is published in Blogs API
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/:postId to fetch published content; POST /blogs/posts to create if needed; update ShareFile with a link or summary
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, url

Blogs API uses OAuth 2.0 to securely grant ShareFile access to blog resources. Start by registering ShareFile as a client in the GHL developer portal, then complete the OAuth flow to obtain access tokens. These tokens are used to call endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to create posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug availability. Ensure tokens are refreshed before expiry to maintain uninterrupted automation.
OAuth 2.0 authentication requires a client ID and secret from GHL. After you authorize the app, your system will receive an access token and a refresh token. Use the access token in API requests and refresh it with the refresh token when needed. Store tokens securely and scope them to the minimal permissions required for your workflows.
Essential endpoints depend on your workflow. For publishing posts, use POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. For slug checks, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. For categorization and authors, use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. Use emails endpoints if you need to trigger email related actions from your content automation.
Yes. Many no code and low code builders can orchestrate these endpoints. Start with a simple trigger such as file upload in ShareFile and map it to create a blog post in Blogs API. Test each step, monitor responses, and adjust field mappings without writing code.
Error handling usually involves inspecting API response codes and messages. Implement retries for transient errors, validate required fields before calls, and log failures for audit. If an endpoint returns a 4xx, verify permissions and input data; for 5xx, retry with backoff.
Security considerations include using OAuth tokens over secure connections, rotating secrets, restricting scopes, and limiting token lifetimes. Use webhooks with signing secrets to verify payloads and store sensitive data in a secure vault.
API rate limits vary by endpoint. Check the Blogs API docs for per-minute quotas and pagination details. Implement pagination handling for list endpoints and respect rate limits to avoid throttling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
