Creating connection API Wix.com and Active Pieces

[Media_Moens]

I want to create a flow that automaticly post blogpost on a wix website.
I have found the Wix API but have no experience coding in Active Pieces. Does someone feel like helping me creating this connection in Active Pieces?

Thanks in advance!

Hey @Media_Moens,

The Wix documentation you provided gives a good understanding of the data structure for creating a draft post. I’ll guide you through the process.

1. Preparation:
   Ensure you’ve set up the necessary API access on Wix. They will typically require you to generate an API key or token for authentication.

2. Setting Up the HTTP Block:
   a. Method: Set it to POST (as specified by Wix’s documentation for creating a blog post).
   b. URL: Enter the endpoint URL provided by Wix for creating a blog post. (https://www.wixapis.com/blog/v3/draft-posts)
   c. Headers: This is where you would add any necessary headers for the request, such as Authorization (for your API key or token) and Content-Type set to application/json.
   d. Query params: Unless Wix requires specific query parameters for creating a blog post, you can leave this blank or add the necessary parameters.
   e. Body: This is where you structure your request payload. Based on the example you’ve given, it would look something like this:

{
  "draftPost": {
    "title": "Your Blog Post Title Here",
    "featured": false,
    "language": "en",
    ... (other necessary attributes)
  }
}

3. Next Steps: Depending on the response from Wix, you can add further actions. For example, if the post was successful, you could send a notification, log the action, or perform other automated tasks.

This is the entire example that is given on Wix’ documentation page for creating a Draft Post, which should give you a good understanding of what fields to add:

{
  "draftPost": {
    "id": "448d1238-0072-4458-a280-bf81c2dd8af1",
