To use Blogs API, generate an API key with the blogs scope and securely store it in your WordPress site. Authenticate requests with the key and respect rate limits.
WordPress authenticates with Blogs API via API keys or OAuth tokens. Keep credentials confidential and refresh tokens as needed.
Key endpoints you may access include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, GET /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /emails/builder, GET /emails/schedule, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: When a WordPress post is published or updated, push to Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: create or update a corresponding blog entry in GHL using POST and PUT endpoints, including title, content, slug, and metadata.
Method and path: POST /blogs/posts to create new posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Key fields: title, content, excerpt, slug, author, date, categories, tags, featuredImage.
Trigger: WordPress webhook on post publish or update.
Actions: receive webhook payload and call POST /blogs/posts or PUT as needed to keep both systems in sync.
Method/path: POST /blogs/posts (via webhook payload) or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Key fields: title, content, slug, categories, tags, date.
Trigger: Zapier monitors WordPress events and sends data to Blogs API.
Actions: map fields, transform data, and handle retries to ensure reliable posts creation.
Method/path: POST /blogs/posts.
Key fields: title, content, slug, excerpt, categories.
No-code publishing from WordPress to GHL saves time and reduces manual errors.
Auto-syncing posts and updates ensures consistency across platforms.
Unified analytics helps you measure performance across WordPress and GHL.
Elements and processes covered include authentication methods, available endpoints, webhook payloads, and how data maps between WordPress posts and Blogs API records.
Application Programming Interface: a set of endpoints you call to interact with the Blogs API from WordPress.
POST: create or update a resource in the API, such as a blog post.
A URL path paired with an HTTP method that performs a specific action (fetch, create, update).
A token-based authentication method used to authorize access to the Blogs API.
Automatically publish WordPress drafts to Blogs API posts when approved, reducing time to publish.
Mirror WordPress posts in GHL campaigns or newsletters for coordinated marketing.
Use endpoints to pull WordPress content into a QA workflow to identify optimization opportunities.
Create a GHL app for WordPress and obtain API keys with the blogs scope.
Map WordPress fields to Blogs API fields and set up webhooks if needed.
Test requests, validate responses, and monitor activity to ensure reliability.
Authentication is required to secure access to your Blogs API. You will typically generate an API key with the blogs scope or configure OAuth tokens in your GHL developer settings. Treat credentials as sensitive information and rotate them periodically. Ensure your WordPress site only exposes endpoints you intend to use and monitor activity for unusual requests.
Essential endpoints for post syncing include POST /blogs/posts to create new entries, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing ones, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata.
Yes. No-code tools like Zapier can connect WordPress to Blogs API by mapping fields and configuring triggers. However, for advanced workflows or custom data mappings, you may prefer direct REST calls or a dedicated app connector.
Common mappings include title, content, slug, excerpt, categories, tags, author, and publication date. Images and featured media can be mapped as URLs or IDs depending on your setup.
Check the API response codes and error messages, verify credentials, and confirm the correct endpoint paths. Use retries with exponential backoff and log failures for troubleshooting.
Most APIs impose rate limits per minute or per day. Stay within those limits, implement exponential backoff on 429 responses, and consider batching requests when possible.
API keys and scopes are available in your GHL developer console. Create a new app for WordPress, assign the blogs scope, and securely store the keys in your WordPress environment.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
