Authenticate the Blogs API from your GHL developer portal and secure your API requests with the provided key or OAuth flow. Use the required scopes to access blog content and post data.
In Stonly, connect the Blogs API app by entering your API key and authorizing access with the requested scopes. This enables Stonly to read and write blog data via the endpoints listed in this guide.
GET emails/builder (read)\nPOST emails/builder (write)\nPOST /emails/builder/data (submit data)\nDELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId (delete template)\nGET emails/schedule (read)\nGET blogs/post.write (write access for posts)\nPOST /blogs/posts (create post)\nPUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update post)\nGET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (check slug)\nGET /blogs/categories (list categories)\nGET /blogs/authors (list authors)\nGET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (verify slug existence)\nGET blogs/category.readonly (read-only category access)\nGET /blogs/categories (list)\nGET /blogs/authors (list)\nGET /blogs/authors (read-only)\n
Trigger: A new Stonly article is published triggers a POST /blogs/posts to create a corresponding blog post.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, category_id, author_id
Trigger: Content edits in Stonly trigger PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update the post.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/authors
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: Updates to categories or authors in GHL reflect in Stonly metadata.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
category_id, author_id
Zero-code automation: connect your content workflows without writing a line of code.
Faster publishing: push Stonly content to your blog in seconds via configured endpoints.
Centralized control: manage blog content, categories, and authors from a single interface.
Key elements and processes you’ll use when wiring Blogs API with Stonly are outlined here.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It is a contract that lets two apps talk to each other and exchange data securely.
Authentication verifies who you are so the API will accept requests. Use API keys or OAuth depending on the provider’s setup.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that performs an action, such as creating or retrieving posts.
A slug is the human-readable part of a URL for a blog post; it should be unique.
Publish a blog post automatically when a new Stonly guide is released by calling POST /blogs/posts with the guide content.
Pull category and author lists via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich Stonly content metadata.
When a post is updated in Blogs API, push changes back to Stonly via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Create or retrieve your API key in GHL and note the scopes required for blog data. Paste the key into Stonly’s Apps connector.
In Stonly, map triggers to endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and configure data fields.
Run tests by publishing a sample guide and verify the blog publish or update occurs. Check logs and endpoint responses.
The Blogs API supports API key and OAuth authentication to verify identity. Use the API key from your GHL developer portal and include it in request headers to keep data secure and access controlled. If OAuth is available, you can complete the standard OAuth flow to avoid exposing credentials in requests.
No-code: The integration is designed for no-code use; connect via Stonly’s UI and configure endpoints without writing code. If you need advanced data transformation, minimal scripting may be required, but most scenarios are handled through field mappings.
To publish posts, use POST /blogs/posts. For updates, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to modify title or content. You can also check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure uniqueness.
Call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug existence. If the slug exists, adjust the slug in your request or add a suffix to ensure uniqueness for the new post.
Yes. You can fetch GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate fields in Stonly. This keeps metadata aligned across platforms and improves content accuracy.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. Check your account for quotas. If you hit limits, implement retry logic with exponential backoff and batch requests when possible.
Use Stonly’s test environment or a sandbox if available to validate calls. Review request/response logs in both Stonly and GHL to troubleshoot any errors, and verify the data mappings.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
