Set up credentials for the GHL Users API (scope: socialplanner/tag.readonly) and grant Podium access.
Provide Podium with your GHL token or OAuth grant to allow API calls. Ensure minimum scope includes tag reading.

Faster time to value with ready-to-use endpoints and simple mappings.
Consolidated data across posting and analytics for smarter decisions.
Scales as your needs grow without heavy custom development.
This section covers essential elements and processes for connecting Podium with the GHL Users API, including endpoints, authentication, and data flow.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allow Podium to communicate with the GHL Users API.
OAuth is an authorization framework that grants Podium access to the GHL API without exposing user credentials.
A URL where a specific API function can be invoked.
The data sent in an API request, typically JSON.
Automatically pull tags from each location and store in your workflow.
Display live statistics from the statistics endpoint in your Podium dashboard.
Set up alerts when tags change or reach thresholds to trigger actions.
Gather your API key, set the scope to include socialplanner/tag.readonly, and note your locationId requirements.
Configure Podium to call the endpoints and verify authorization.
Run test requests to GET tags, POST details, and fetch statistics to ensure correct data flow.
The GHL Users API provides programmatic access to posting, tagging, and analytics data. Podium leverages this API to fetch available tags, push tag details, and pull statistics for your social workflows. By integrating Podium with the GHL Users API, teams can automate routine posting tasks and gain insight into performance metrics without manual data entry. This keeps your content aligned with location-specific needs while maintaining data security.
Minimal coding is required when using the GHL Users API with Podium thanks to the provided endpoints and straightforward mappings. You can configure the connection, assign the scope socialplanner/tag.readonly, and begin making calls to fetch tags and statistics. For deeper custom needs, a developer can extend the integration with additional endpoints as needed.
At a minimum, you will use endpoints for listing tags, retrieving tag details, and posting statistics. Specifically, GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags, POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details, and POST /social-media-posting/statistics. These endpoints cover the core use cases of tagging, tagging details, and analytics.
Authentication is handled via API keys or OAuth depending on your setup. Ensure that credentials are stored securely and that the Podium app only requests the minimal scope needed. Regularly rotate keys and use secure storage practices to protect data in transit and at rest.
Yes. You can retrieve the list of tags using the GET endpoint without requiring the details payload. Use GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags to fetch tags for a location, and call the details endpoint only when you need additional information about a specific tag.
The statistics endpoint returns aggregated metrics such as reach, engagement, and posting frequency. Depending on your request, you can view trends over time, location performance, and other analytics that help optimize your social strategy.
API documentation for the GHL Users API is typically available in your developer portal or through the official API docs provided by GHL. Look for sections on authentication, endpoints, and data schemas to map fields to Podium workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
