Authenticate your Blogs API connection using the supported methods (API keys or OAuth). Keep credentials secure and rotate them regularly. Use the scopes required for reading posts, creating posts, and managing categories and authors.
Authorize YNAB to access the Blogs API using your chosen method. This enables budget‑driven content to be drafted and published to your blog via the Blogs API.
Endpoint highlights for this integration: blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors. Additional endpoints from the API suite include emails endpoints for ancillary automation if needed (GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, etc.).

Method path example: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, author, date
Trigger: validate slug existence before publishing.
Actions: call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and GET /blogs/categories to ensure validity and proper categorization.
