Authentication for the Blogs API uses secure credentials. In Zapier App Connector, connect using the Blogs API credentials and grant the necessary scopes to enable read and write access to posts, categories, and authors.
In the Zapier App Connector, select the Blogs API connection, input your API key or OAuth details, and authorize access. Ensure the scope covers posts, categories, authors, and scheduling as needed.
Primary endpoints include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/schedules. These endpoints support creating, updating, validating slugs, and scheduling blog content within Zapier workflows.

The Blogs API lets you create, update, and publish blog posts, categories, and authors from external automation tools. It enables workflows that scale content operations without manual data entry. This integration with the Zapier App Connector lets you automate publishing, distribution, and updates across your content stack.
No code is required to connect. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual interface to authorize, map fields, and configure triggers and actions. You supply API credentials and scopes, and Zapier handles the data transfer between Blogs API and downstream systems.
Essential endpoints include creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), checking slug existence (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and retrieving categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). Scheduling endpoints can be used to time releases and updates.
Authentication is typically via API key or OAuth. In Zapier, you provide credentials and authorize the connection once. Zapier then uses those credentials for subsequent triggers and actions within your workflows.
Yes. You can schedule posts for future publication by using schedule-related endpoints and Zapier’s Delay or Schedule actions. This allows coordinated releases across channels without manual intervention.
Slug checks help prevent duplicates. Use the slug exists endpoint to verify a slug before creating or updating a post, and implement fallback logic if a conflict arises.
Common triggers include new or updated posts, new authors, and new categories. Typical actions are create/update posts, create/update authors, and create/update categories, plus scheduling and slug validation.
