To securely connect Spark Hire to the Blogs API, start by obtaining API credentials with the correct scope (emails/builder.readonly). Use OAuth 2.0 where supported, and store tokens securely. In Spark Hire, configure a connected app using the provided client ID and secret, then test access with a lightweight request such as GET blogs/categories.
Spark Hire uses a developer key or OAuth flow for API access. Enter the app’s credentials in the connector, request the Blogs API scope, and authorize the app to read and write blog content as needed. Always follow best practices for secrets management.
Typical endpoints include creating and updating blog posts, checking slug existence, listing categories and authors, and retrieving posts. Examples: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: a new interview or candidate event in Spark Hire creates a draft blog post in the Blogs API.
Actions: map title, content, excerpt, author, category, slug, and optional schedule; call POST /blogs/posts to publish.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, excerpt, author_id, category_id, slug, scheduled_at
Trigger: blog post updated in Blogs API (title, content, status) updates Spark Hire records.
Actions: fetch post with GET /blogs/posts/:postId and push changes to Spark Hire; update slug and status fields as needed.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, status, updated_at
Trigger: new or updated author or category in Blogs API propagates to Spark Hire.
Actions: fetch authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories and update Spark Hire references accordingly.
GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
author_id, name, bio; category_id, name

A specific URL path in an API that performs an action or returns data.
The URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in the web address.
Automatically turn Spark Hire interview notes into blog post drafts in Blogs API.
Publish real-time interview recaps to your blog from Spark Hire events.
Use Blogs API to publish periodic career tips sourced from Spark Hire insights.
Obtain an API key and set the scope to read/write blog resources; store securely.
In the connector, add the necessary endpoints (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts, etc.) and define triggers and actions.
Run tests with sample data, verify post creation and updates, then deploy to production.
No-code connectors are designed to make setup quick. You can connect Spark Hire to Blogs API using a guided UI without writing code. This keeps your integration maintainable and scalable.
To publish a post, you typically need title, content, author, category, slug, and optionally a scheduled publish time. The endpoint POST /blogs/posts handles creation.
Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys as provided by the Blogs API. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly. The app should request only the needed scopes.
Yes. You can fetch authors and categories via the endpoints GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories and sync them to Spark Hire.
Required fields typically include title, content, author_id, category_id, slug. Additional fields include excerpt and scheduled_at.
Rate limits depend on your Blogs API plan. Plan for bursts during publishing and implement retries with exponential backoff.
Test in a sandbox environment, validate data mappings, and run end-to-end tests before enabling live automation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
