How to connect Rankr to the Users API

Connecting GHL's Users API with Rankr: a quick start for a no-code integration

How the GHL Users API connects with Rankr

This guide walks you through securely connecting Rankr to the GHL Users API. You’ll learn how to authenticate, which scopes are needed, and how data flows between GHL and Rankr to drive tag insights, analytics, and posting statistics.

GHL Users API authentication

Authenticate requests with OAuth 2.0 tokens. Include the access token in the Authorization header as Bearer . Use refresh tokens to maintain a seamless connection and rotate credentials according to your security policy.

Rankr App Authentication

In Rankr, generate and securely store GHL credentials (OAuth client or API key). Configure the connection so Rankr can sign requests to the GHL API and refresh tokens as needed, keeping credentials encrypted at rest.

Endpoints used in the integration

– GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags – POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details – socialplanner/statistics.readonly – POST /social-media-posting/statistics – Future endpoints (5-17) reserved for expansion and enhanced workflows

Top 3 connection patterns between Rankr and the Users API

1) Fetch Social Tags (Read-Only)

3) Post Statistics Collection

Triggered after a batch of posts is published to collect performance metrics.

Send aggregated statistics to Rankr dashboards for reporting and optimization.

POST /social-media-posting/statistics

locationId, postId, metrics

No-code benefits of connecting Rankr to the Users API

Automate data synchronization between GHL and Rankr without writing code, reducing manual workflows.

Leverage prebuilt endpoints to accelerate setup and deliver quick time-to-value.

Enable seamless data sharing for tagging, analytics, and campaign automation across platforms.

Key terms and glossary

This glossary defines API concepts, endpoints, authentication, and data mapping terms used in the Rankr–GHL integration.

API

An Application Programming Interface (API) is a defined set of rules that lets Rankr interact with the GHL Users API and other services.

Endpoint

A specific URL path in an API used to access a resource or perform an action.

Authentication

The process of verifying identity to grant access to resources, typically via OAuth tokens or API keys.

Webhook

A URL that an API calls to notify your system about events in near real-time.

Creative ideas for the Rankr–GHL integration

Idea: Automate tag-driven campaigns

Whenever a new tag is detected in GHL, trigger a Rankr workflow to launch a targeted campaign or analytics cue.

Idea: Schedule posts based on analytics

Use posting statistics from GHL to optimize posting times and content in Rankr-generated campaigns.

Idea: Tag insights automation

Automate tagging insights so teams receive summarized, actionable data in Rankr dashboards.

3 Steps to connect Rankr with the GHL Users API

Step 1: Create credentials

In GHL, generate an OAuth client or API key for the Rankr connection and securely store the credentials in Rankr.

Step 2: Configure scopes

Assign the required scopes: socialplanner/tag.readonly for tag data and socialplanner/statistics.readonly for statistics.

Step 3: Test and deploy

Test the connection with a sample location, confirm data flows correctly, then deploy to production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What authentication methods are supported?

We support OAuth 2.0 tokens with Bearer authentication for most flows. Depending on your GHL setup, API keys can be used in some scenarios, but OAuth is the recommended approach for long-lived connections. Always include the access token in the Authorization header as Bearer and refresh tokens as needed.

Required scopes include socialplanner/tag.readonly for tag data and socialplanner/statistics.readonly for posting statistics. If a scope is missing or revoked, requests will fail with a 403 error. Adjust scopes in your GHL app settings and re-authorize as necessary.

GHL enforces rate limits per account and per endpoint. Respect these limits and implement exponential backoff for retries. If you exceed limits you may see 429 responses; retry after a short delay and monitor usage in Rankr.

Yes. You can map fields from GHL to Rankr using the key fields in your connection. This enables you to align tag data, post IDs, and metrics with Rankr dashboards without writing custom code.

No coding is required for the base integration. The prebuilt endpoints and flows are designed for a no-code setup inside Rankr. Advanced users may customize mappings or add additional endpoints via the API if needed.

Errors return standard HTTP status codes with helpful messages. Enable retry logic, log errors, and consult the API response to troubleshoot, then re-run the request.

Endpoint details appear in the Endpoints List section of this page and in your GHL developer console. For comprehensive live docs, refer to Rankr’s integration guide and the GHL API docs for the latest paths and headers.
