Requests to the Blogs API require a valid access token with the appropriate scope. Use OAuth where supported and keep credentials secure. For read and write blog data, ensure the scope aligns with the actions you perform.
In Xoda, connect your Blogs API credentials and authorize Xoda to access blog data. Store tokens securely and rotate credentials according to policy.

Publish content, enable monitoring, and review logs to ensure smooth operation.
To connect Xoda with the Blogs API you’ll typically use OAuth or API tokens to obtain an access token with the correct scope. Securely store credentials and rotate them periodically. Start by granting Xoda the ability to read and write blog data so it can create, update, and publish posts. If you use a token-based flow, ensure tokens are stored securely and renewed before expiry.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and POST /blogs/post-update.write to finalize publishing. For content planning, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists helps prevent duplicate slugs, while GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories support tagging and organization.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability before creating a post. If the slug is taken, modify the title or slug and retry. This prevents conflicts and preserves clean URLs.
Fetch authors with GET /blogs/authors and categories with GET /blogs/categories. Use those results to populate author and category fields in your Xoda-driven posts so tagging remains consistent across platforms.
Test the integration in a staging environment by drafting sample posts, validating slug checks, and verifying that posts appear in Blogs API. Use sandbox credentials, monitor logs, and set up alerts for failures before going live.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the specific endpoints used. Plan for retries and backoff in your automations, and spread requests over time to avoid hitting limits. Monitor usage in your API dashboard and adjust workflow frequency as needed.
Required data includes a title, content, slug, authorId, and categoryId for each post. Optional fields may include publishDate, featuredImage, and tags. Ensure all required fields are populated before submission to the Blogs API.
