You authenticate to the Blogs API using an API token or OAuth. Include the token in the Authorization header for every request. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly. The token grants access to endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
For basic publishing you will typically use: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slugs, POST /blogs/posts to create, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. You may also fetch authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to assign metadata.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. Ensure you pass the postId and include any changed fields like title, content, slug, or categoryIds. After updating, you can re-publish or adjust status as needed.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with a slug parameter to verify availability. If the slug exists, you can either update the post with that ID or choose a new slug. The endpoint returns a boolean or status indicating existence.
Permissions should include read and write access to blogs endpoints, such as blogs/post.write and blogs/post-update.write. Ensure the account has the necessary scopes (e.g., blogs/read, blogs/write) and follow least-privilege practices.
Rate limits vary by plan. Typical limits allow a reasonable number of GET and POST requests per minute. If you hit a limit, implement exponential backoff and retry after the recommended interval.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/authors to fetch author lists and GET /blogs/categories to fetch category data. This lets you assign correct metadata to posts and keep taxonomy consistent.
