Custom API

Automatic Blog Publishing for Custom API

HaloSEO writes the post and publishes it to your Custom API site on a schedule. The post is live when it is written, with the picture, the links and the metadata already on it.

How HaloSEO connects to Custom API

You give HaloSEO an endpoint on your Custom API and a credential that lets it create a post. The endpoint receives the finished post: the title, the body, the image, the internal links and the metadata. HaloSEO needs write permission on that one endpoint. It does not need access to your database, your admin panel or the rest of your API. You set the schedule, and HaloSEO calls the endpoint when a post is ready.

What the published post looks like on your site

The post is created through your own API, so it renders in your own theme. Your templates, your typography and your layout apply. The image arrives with the post and is attached to it. The internal links point at pages on your site. The metadata, including the title tag and the description, is set on the post when it is created. Nothing is styled by HaloSEO. The page looks like every other page you publish.

What happens on Custom API that does not happen elsewhere

Your API decides what a post is. If your endpoint expects a certain field order, a block format or a required category, HaloSEO sends the post in that shape. There is no plugin and no fixed template to fit into. The post goes in through the same path your own tools use, so your validation rules apply to it. If your API rejects a post, HaloSEO sees the rejection and does not report the post as published.

What breaks, and what happens when it does

The common failures are an expired credential, a changed endpoint, a validation rule that rejects the payload, or your API being down when the call is made. When a call fails, the post is not published and the failure is recorded. HaloSEO does not retry into a queue you have to approve. You fix the credential or the endpoint, and the next scheduled post goes out. A post that failed is not silently marked as live.

Who this is not right for

This is not right for you if you want to read a post before it goes live. There is no draft queue and no approval step. The post is live when it is written. If your process needs an editor to sign off, or if your API only accepts posts from a human account, use a different setup. This is also not right for you if you cannot give HaloSEO a write endpoint and a credential for it.
