Use your GHL API credentials to authorize requests from WHMCS. Store keys securely, restrict to the required scope, and rotate credentials regularly to minimize risk.
WHMCS will authenticate to the Blogs API using API tokens with the scope defined for content access (e.g., emails/builder.readonly). Always protect tokens and implement least-privilege access.
– GET emails/builder – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – GET emails/schedule – GET blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – POST /blogs/posts – POST blogs/post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – GET blogs/category.readonly – GET blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors – POST /blogs/posts

This glossary covers common terms used in WHMCS and Blogs API integration, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields.
Application Programming Interface that enables WHMCS to securely communicate with the Blogs API.
A specific URL path used to access a feature in the Blogs API, such as POST /blogs/posts.
An authorization framework that issues access tokens to authorize API requests without sharing user credentials.
A URL-friendly string derived from a blog title used in links and URLs.
Automatically generate a welcome post in the Blogs API when a new WHMCS customer signs up, with templated content.
Draft blog content in WHMCS and push to the Blogs API for review before publishing.
Aggregate weekly updates and publish a digest to your blog via the Blogs API.
Obtain your API key and configure the proper scopes for Blogs API access in WHMCS.
Map WHMCS actions to Blogs API endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories.
Run test orders and publish sample posts to verify syncing, errors handling, and performance.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints that let WHMCS fetch templates, create posts, and manage blog data. Integrating avoids manual publishing and keeps content in sync with customer activity. Start with basic GET and POST calls to validate access and then expand to automation tasks. Tip: test in a staging environment before going live to ensure templates render correctly and permissions are scoped to least privilege.
WHMCS will need an API token with the appropriate scopes (for example, emails/builder.readonly for content retrieval). Always use the principle of least privilege and rotate tokens regularly. Monitor access logs and bind keys to your WHMCS installation only.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
