To securely use the Blogs API from Zapier App Connector, start by creating an API key or OAuth credentials, then configure the connection in your Zapier account and test access to endpoints like GET /blogs/posts.
Zapier uses OAuth 2.0 or API tokens to securely connect to GHL endpoints; store credentials safely and refresh tokens as needed.
Key endpoints you’ll use include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
