The Blogs API supports API key based authentication as well as OAuth2. Include your API key in the Authorization header or as a dedicated key depending on your setup. Ensure the key has scopes for both emails and blogs endpoints. For OAuth2, register your application, obtain a client ID and secret, and exchange codes for access tokens. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly.
To create posts you will typically use POST /blogs/posts and to update existing posts PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Reading post data, such as slug existence, can be done with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. For templates and email content, use POST and PUT on the emails endpoints as needed.
Begin by generating access tokens and enabling debug logging in Sprout. Run a test post creation and confirm the new content appears in Sprout campaigns. Review API responses and adjust scopes if a request is blocked. Regularly run end-to-end tests after changes.

Required fields for a blog post typically include title, content, slug, and postId (for updates). Optional fields may include summary, authorId, categoryId, and publishDate. Ensure slug uniqueness to avoid conflicts.
Enable monitoring via Sprout’s logging and alerting. Use endpoint response codes and payload errors to trigger alerts. Set retry rules for transient failures and review error dashboards regularly.
Webhooks provide real-time event notifications from Blogs API to Sprout. You can subscribe to post created, updated, or deleted events. Ensure your endpoint can receive and verify webhook payloads and respond with a 2xx status to acknowledge receipt.
