The legacy blog-authors API provides CRUD access to blog author records in HubSpot. Blog authors can be associated with blog posts and display author information such as name, bio, and avatar. **Please note:** this API has been replaced by the [authors API](/api-reference/latest/cms/blogs/authors/get-authors). Use the authors API for new integrations — it includes batch operations and multi-language support. This page is a reference for existing integrations that currently use the legacy endpoints. ## Endpoints | Endpoint | Path | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | [Retrieve all blog authors](/api-reference/legacy/cms/blogs/authors/legacy-blog-authors/get-blog-authors) | `GET /blogs/v3/blog-authors` | | [Get a blog author by ID](/api-reference/legacy/cms/blogs/authors/legacy-blog-authors/get-blog-author) | `GET /blogs/v3/blog-authors/{author_id}` | | [Search blog authors](/api-reference/legacy/cms/blogs/authors/legacy-blog-authors/search-blog-authors) | `GET /blogs/v3/blog-authors/search` | | [Create a blog author](/api-reference/legacy/cms/blogs/authors/legacy-blog-authors/create-blog-author) | `POST /blogs/v3/blog-authors` | | [Update a blog author](/api-reference/legacy/cms/blogs/authors/legacy-blog-authors/update-blog-author) | `PUT /blogs/v3/blog-authors/{author_id}` | | [Delete a blog author](/api-reference/legacy/cms/blogs/authors/legacy-blog-authors/delete-blog-author) | `DELETE /blogs/v3/blog-authors/{author_id}` |
