To authorize Rankr to access the Blogs API, obtain an API key or set up OAuth scopes, then store credentials securely and refresh tokens as needed. Your current scope is emails/builder.readonly, which governs access to email-related endpoints; if you need blogs.write access, adjust scopes accordingly.
Rankr authenticates with the Blogs API using a client credential flow. Include your client ID, client secret, and the required scope, and ensure credentials are stored securely and rotated regularly.
Key endpoints include: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/post-update.write, GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, and POST /emails/builder/data. Use the blog endpoints for content publishing and updates, and the email endpoints for related workflows if needed.
Trigger: when a new post draft is created in Rankr, publish it to Blogs API.
Actions: create a post with POST /blogs/posts, set title, content, slug, category, and author, then confirm publication.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, category_id, author_id, status
Trigger: edits in Rankr should update corresponding blogs in Blogs API.
Actions: validate slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, then update content via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content
Trigger: fetch post lists and metadata for analytics without editing content.
Actions: read via GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors to populate dashboards.
GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
postId, slug, category, authorId

The Blogs API exposes endpoints for creating and updating posts, checking slug existence, and retrieving categories and authors. It also includes read/write controls for related email workflows when combined with Rankr. Use POST /blogs/posts to publish, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. For discovery, endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help enrich posts with metadata.
No heavy coding is required to start. Rankr provides prebuilt actions and triggers that map to the Blogs API endpoints. You can configure mappings, authentication, and automated workflows through the UI, then test with sample posts. If you do need custom logic, lightweight scripting can be added in the integration layer.
Use secure credential storage, rotate credentials regularly, and apply scoped permissions aligned to your use case. Prefer API keys for simple setups or OAuth for granular control. Always minimize access to only the endpoints you need (e.g., blogs posts and slug checks).
Yes. Rankr can trigger scheduled publishing or time-based workflows that publish posts through POST /blogs/posts. You can also set up drafts that are auto-published when criteria are met. Use the scheduling endpoints in the broader suite to coordinate timing.
If a slug exists, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify availability and then adjust the slug or title. Implement a fallback mechanism to generate a unique slug before attempting to publish. This prevents conflicts and preserves SEO consistency.
Start with a small test post to verify authentication and field mappings. Check API responses and error logs, then incrementally expand the workflow. Use sandbox or staging environments if available before moving to production.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
