The Blogs API lets you manage blog content programmatically from external apps like Tars. It supports creating, reading, updating, and organizing posts, categories, and authors via REST endpoints. This enables automated content workflows driven by chatbot interactions.
Common endpoints include POST /blogs/posts for creating posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for slug validation, GET /blogs/categories for categories, and GET /blogs/authors for author lists. You can also fetch or check posts with GET /blogs/posts.
Authentication typically uses API keys or OAuth tokens. Store credentials securely in Tars and rotate them regularly. Always request the minimal scope required for the integration to reduce risk.

Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to pull current categories and authors into Tars. Then map them to your forms and keep them refreshed on a schedule.

Test in a staging or sandbox environment using sample posts and content. Check for correct mappings, error handling, and rate limits before going live.
