Blog Posts
Access and test APIs in beta.
You can use the blog post API to publish and manage blog posts. Learn more about how to create and maintain your blog on the HubSpot Knowledge Base.
- The following properties are deprecated and will not be included in the response of any of the V3 endpoints:
- campaign_name
- is_draft
- keywords
- The topicIds property has been renamed to tagIds.
The blog post API endpoints are subject to the limits defined in HubSpot's API usage guidelines. Any limits specific to a certain endpoint will be listed with the associated endpoint in the Endpoints tab above.
When you make a GET request to /cms/v3/blogs/posts, you can filter and sort the posts returned in the response using the operators and properties below. You can also use the standard filters using the createdAt and updatedAt dates.
Provide any filters as query parameters in your request, by adding the property name, followed by two underscore characters, then include the associated operator as a suffix. For example, you can filter the results to only include blog posts where the name property contains the word marketing using the parameter: &name__icontains=marketing.
You can include any number of filters as query parameters in the request URL. All filters are ANDed together. ORing filters is not currently supported.
The available filter types are listed below:
| Filter | Operator |
|---|---|
| Equals | eq (or none) |
| Not equal | ne |
| Contains | contains |
| Less than | lt |
| Less than or equal | lte |
| Greater than | gt |
| Greater than or equal | gte |
| Null | is_null |
| Not null | not_null |
| Like | like |
| Not like | not_like |
| Contains (case insensitive) | icontains |
| Starts with | startswith |
| In | in |
The table below lists the properties that can be filtered on, along with their supported filter types.
| Property | Supported filters |
|---|---|
| id | Equal, In |
| slug | Equal, In, Not In, Contains |
| campaign | Equal, In |
| state | Equal, Not Equal, In, Not In, Contains |
| publishDate | Equal, Greater than, Greater than or equal , Less than ,Less than or equal |
| createdAt | Equal, Greater than, Greater than or equal , Less than ,Less than or equal |
| updatedAt | Equal, Greater than, Greater than or equal , Less than ,Less than or equal |
| name | Equal, In, Contains |
| deletedAt | Equal, Greater than, Greater than or equal, Less than ,Less than or equal |
| createdById | Equal |
| updatedById | Equal |
| blogAuthorId | Equal, In |
| translatedFromId | Null, Not Null |
| contentGroupId | Equal, In |
| tagId | Equal, In |
The table below lists the query parameters you can use to filter by publish state.
| Publish State | Query parameters |
|---|---|
| Draft | state=DRAFT |
| Scheduled | state=SCHEDULED |
| Published | state=PUBLISHED |
Please note: the currentState field on the blog post object is a generated field which also reflects the blog's publish state, but you cannot use it as a property to filter against in your requests.
To filter blog posts based on a multi-language group, you can include one of the query parameters in the table below. For example, to get blog posts associated with a German variation of your blog, you'd include contentGroupId__eq={germanBlogId} as a query parameter.
| Description | Query parameters |
|---|---|
| Primary blog post in a multi-language group | translatedFromId__is_null |
| Variation blog post in a multi-language group | translatedFromId__not_null |
| Blog post with specific language | contentGroupId__eq |
You can provide sorting and pagination options as query parameters. Specify the property name as the value to the sort query parameter to return the blog posts in the natural order of that property. You can reverse the sorting order by including a dash character before the property name (e.g., sort=-createdAt).
By combining query parameters for filtering, sorting, and paging, you can retrieve blog posts that match more advanced search criteria. For example, the request below fetches blog posts that don't have a language assigned, ordered by the most recently updated. Including the limit and offset parameters below returns the second page of results.
You can create a blog post by making a POST request to the /cms/v3/blogs/posts endpoint, and including a JSON payload that represents the blog post model. The name and contentGroupId fields are required when creating a blog post. To set the URL of a blog post, you must provide the slug field in your request. The url field is auto-generated by HubSpot and cannot be updated. Review the required parameters and the structure of the blog post model in the Endpoints tab at the top of this article.

Blog posts in the HubSpot CMS have both draft and live versions. The draft version can be updated without affecting the live blog post content. Drafts can be reviewed and published by a user in your HubSpot account, or using the /push-live endpoint. You can also schedule your post to be published at a future time via the /schedule endpoint. Draft changes can also be discarded using the /reset endpoint, allowing a user in your account to revert back to the current live version of the blog post without disruption.
You can update the draft version of a blog post by making a PATCH request to the /cms/v3/blogs/posts/{objectId} endpoint and providing the associated ID of the post as the objectId. You must include a JSON payload that represents the blog post model.
You can modify the widgets, widgetContainers, and layoutSections properties of the blog post model. Each property stores module data for the post.
- widgets: contains data from the blog post's template.
- widgetContainers: contains data from the module's flex columns.
- layoutSections: contains data from the module's drag and drop areas.
Properties you provide in the payload of your request will override existing draft properties without any complex merging logic. As a result, if you're updating any nested properties within the three properties listed above, you should provide the full definition of the object. Partial updates are not supported.
Please note: editing your blog post drafts directly in your HubSpot account is the simplest way to modify content managed by the HubSpot CMS. While you can use the edit endpoint described above, it's not recommended over using the editor.
You can publish the draft version of a blog post immediately by making a POST request to the /cms/v3/blogs/posts/{objectId}/draft/push-live endpoint, and supplying the associated objectId of the blog post you want to publish. This endpoint does not require you to supply a payload and will update the live version of the target blog post to match the current draft version.
You can schedule the draft version of your blog post to be published later by making a POST request to the /cms/v3/blogs/posts/schedule endpoint. In your request, include a JSON payload that contains the id of the target blog post and a publishDate.
You can reset the draft version of a blog post back to its current live version by making a POST request to the /cms/v3/blogs/posts/{objectId}/draft/reset endpoint, and supplying the objectId of the associated post you want to reset. This endpoint does not require you to supply a payload.
Review the required parameters and available endpoints for editing and publishing a blog post in the Endpoints tab at the top of this article.
To help you maintain blog posts across multiple languages, HubSpot's CMS allows you to group together language variants of the same content. You can learn more about working with multi-language blog posts in this Knowledge Base article.
You can create a new language variant for an existing blog post by making a POST request to the /multi-language/create-language-variant endpoint. The endpoint accepts a JSON payload containing the id of the blog post to clone and the language identifier of the new variant.
You can add a blog post to an existing multi-language group by making a POST request to the /multi-language/attach-to-lang-group endpoint. The endpoint accepts a JSON payload containing the id of the target blog post, the language identifier of the blog post being added, and the primaryId of the blog post designated as the primary blog post in the target multi-language group.
To detach a blog post from a multi-language group, make a POST request to the /multi-language/detach-from-lang-group endpoint. The endpoint accepts a JSON payload containing the id of the target blog post.
