Use secure OAuth tokens and API keys to authenticate requests to the Blogs API endpoints. Store credentials safely and rotate them regularly.
Authenticate Square with your GHL connection using OAuth2 scopes that match your content and publishing needs. Keep tokens secret and manage revocation policies.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder/data, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. Use these to create, update, schedule, and fetch posts.
Trigger: when you draft a post in Square, push it to Blogs API to create a new post automatically.
Actions: use POST /blogs/posts to create content; map fields like title, slug, and content; set publish date.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, authorId, categoryIds
Trigger: updates in Blogs API refresh the corresponding post in Square to keep content in sync.
Actions: use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; check slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content
Trigger: category or author changes in Blogs API propagate to Square collections.
Actions: fetch GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate Square catalogs.
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, authorId
Faster content creation with automated post generation and updates.
Consistent publishing across channels without writing repetitive code.
Centralized analytics and reporting on post performance.
This glossary explains API terms, endpoints, authentication, and data flow to help you implement the Square–Blogs API integration quickly.
An API is a set of rules that lets apps communicate and exchange data securely.
A URL that performs a specific action when called by your integration.
The process of verifying identity to grant access to resources.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from a post title.
Idea: use Square events to draft blog content in Blogs API and auto-publish on schedule.
Idea: mirror publish states and revisions to keep both platforms aligned.
Idea: move older posts to archive and surface fresh content in Square.
Obtain API keys and set the required scopes for content reading and writing.
Authorize the connection using OAuth2 and test sandbox endpoints.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data, and switch to live mode.
Yes. The setup is designed for users with basic technical knowledge and step-by-step instructions. Start with authenticating outside apps, then map fields between Square and Blogs API. Use test endpoints first to verify behavior before going live. If you’re completely new, consider a sandbox or trial environment to practice without impacting live data.
The most useful endpoints for publishing are POST /blogs/posts to create content, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. You’ll also leverage GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata.
Connections are secured with OAuth2 tokens and scoped permissions. Always use HTTPS, rotate credentials, and monitor for unusual activity. The platform supports IP whitelisting and audit logs for compliance.
Yes. Endpoints can be combined in workflows or custom actions. You can select which endpoints to call based on events in Square or Blogs API and tailor data mapping accordingly.
Absolutely. Scheduling and automatic updates are core benefits. You can trigger publishes on a schedule or in response to events, and keep content fresh across platforms.
Webhooks are supported in the Blogs API for real-time updates. Configure your webhook URLs to receive post events and trigger actions in Square.
API docs are available in the developer portal for Blogs API and the Square connector. Review rate limits, authentication flows, and example payloads to accelerate setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
