Authentication uses an API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly. Keep the key secure and include it in the Authorization header for requests. Example: Authorization: Bearer {api_key}.
SureCart authenticates to the Blogs API via standard API key provisioning in the app settings. Ensure the app has access to blog and emails endpoints and that the key is stored securely.
Blogs endpoints: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/check-slug, GET /blogs/authors. Email endpoints: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, POST /emails/schedule data. Use the endpoints that fit your workflow to create, update and retrieve blog content and email data within SureCart.

This glossary explains the common terms and the data flow used to connect Blogs API with SureCart including API, authentication, endpoints and slug checks.
A set of rules that lets apps communicate with each other and access data and actions.
A URL friendly version of a post title used in links and SEO.
Security token or key used to prove identity and grant access to endpoints.
A specific URL path to access a resource in an API.
Create a weekly digest email in SureCart based on the latest posts from Blogs API to engage subscribers.
Publish author spotlights in newsletters and on landing pages by syncing author data.
Use slug checks to preserve clean URLs and trigger SEO friendly updates.
Request or generate an API key with blogs and emails scopes from the Blogs API console.
Add the API key to SureCart app settings and run a test call to verify endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts or GET /blogs/authors.
Define field mappings for post data, authors and categories and set up a sample workflow.
You authenticate with an API key in the Authorization header and grant the appropriate scope for the endpoints you use. For example use Authorization: Bearer {api_key} and ensure the key has access to blogs and emails resources. Rotate keys regularly and store them securely. After setup run a quick test call to confirm access to endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts or GET emails/builder. Keep credentials out of client side code and use server side calls where possible.
Essential endpoints for blog to SureCart workflows include GET /blogs/posts to retrieve posts, POST /blogs/posts to create new posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts, GET /blogs/authors to fetch author data, and GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories. For email driven actions also keep GET emails/builder and POST emails/builder as needed. Use the ones that align with your automation goals.
Slug existence checks help avoid duplicate URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify if a slug is already in use. The blogs check slug endpoint at GET /blogs/check-slug can also be used to validate slug formats before publishing. Always perform slug validation before publishing to ensure clean, SEO friendly URLs.
Yes you can fetch authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. This data can be mapped into SureCart templates and campaigns to personalize content and improve targeting. Regularly refresh author and category data to keep metadata current.
The integration is designed to be no code or low code. Use the app interface to configure endpoints, field mappings and triggers. You can set up workflows that automatically create or update posts and trigger emails without writing code. For complex logic, you can extend with server side scripts if needed.
Map fields precisely: connect post fields to SureCart templates, align author data with author fields, and ensure categories line up with your taxonomy. Validate mappings with test data and adjust as needed. Document field mappings for future maintenance and onboarding.
Test the connection by running a controlled workflow in a sandbox or staging environment. Verify authentication works, endpoints respond with expected data, and triggers fire as intended. Use small data sets first and gradually scale up as you confirm reliability.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
