To access the Blogs API from GHL, obtain credentials from the Blogs API portal and store them securely in the GHL connection settings. Use OAuth 2.0 if available or an API key as a fallback.
Ensure APPNAME connection uses a secure OAuth flow or API key and that tokens are refreshed before expiry to avoid breaks in automation.

Pull author data into APPNAME to create dashboards and reports.
Register APPNAME and obtain API credentials for Blogs API, then configure the connection in GHL.
Map fields like title, content, slug and author to APPNAME fields and select endpoints such as /blogs/posts and /blogs/authors.
Create workflows, run tests, and go live with monitoring.
Blogs API supports both OAuth and API keys to secure access from GHL. Start by creating a new app in the Blogs API dashboard and copy your client ID and secret. In GHL, configure the connection with these credentials and test each endpoint in a sandbox before going live.
Publishing posts uses the POST /blogs/posts endpoint where you supply title, content, slug. Ensure the slug is unique by checking GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating posts.
You can use a shared account if policy allows, but a dedicated service account with scoped permissions is best. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys regularly.
Real-time sync can be achieved with webhooks or periodic polling. Enable GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to refresh APPNAME data as needed.
Yes, you can test without code by using GHL’s no-code connector and a sandbox API key. Create a test workflow to trigger on a sample post and verify data propagation.
Supported methods include OAuth 2.0 and API key authentication. Always store tokens securely and refresh before expiry.
Rate limits vary by endpoint; spread requests over time and implement exponential backoff. If you consistently hit limits, contact the API provider for guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
