Use a secure API key or OAuth token issued by GHL for the Blogs API, and store it safely in Urlooker’s connection settings. The scope for this integration is defined in your account and can be adjusted to fit blog operations.
Urlooker authenticates requests to the Blogs API with the same token exchange used during OAuth. Ensure the app has access to the necessary blog endpoints and refresh tokens as needed.
Core endpoints used in this integration include: GET /blogs/posts (read posts), POST /blogs/posts (create post), PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update post), GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (check slug), GET /blogs/categories (list categories), GET /blogs/authors (list authors).
Trigger: A post draft is created in Urlooker, then posted to Blogs API via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: Create post, set title, content, slug, category, and optional publish date; update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId as needed.
Method Path: POST /blogs/posts (and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for edits).
Key Fields: title, content, slug, author_id, category_id, status
Trigger: Before publishing, Urlooker checks slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.

The Blogs API integration with Urlooker lets you manage blog content from a single dashboard. You can create, schedule, and publish posts, retrieve author and category data, and keep your content aligned with marketing campaigns. This connection minimizes manual steps and reduces time-to-publish.
Typical scopes include posts.write, posts.readonly, authors.read, categories.read. In this setup, ensure your token grants access to the endpoints used (blogs/post.write, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors).
Yes. Urlooker can create and update posts using the Blogs API endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Deletion may require additional permissions.
Check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If the slug already exists, adjust your title or slug, then retry.
Yes. You can sync authors and categories by fetching GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories and mapping IDs in Urlooker to the respective fields in your marketing workflows.
Enable try/catch style error handling in Urlooker flows, log API errors, and implement retries with exponential backoff. Use meaningful error messages to guide fixes.
Test the connection by running a small set of requests: create a draft, fetch an author, check a slug. Review responses, then go live when successful.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
