# About the Blog APIs

The Blog APIs allow users to create and manage blogs. Wix users can create and manage posts, draft posts, categories and tags on their blog page. Site collaborators can also create and manage blogs, given the appropriate [roles and permissions](#blog-roles).

With the Blog APIs, you can: 
- Create and manage [posts](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/blog/posts-stats/introduction.md) and [draft posts](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/blog/draft-posts/introduction.md).
- Assign [categories](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/blog/category/introduction.md) to posts and draft posts, as well as update and remove them. 
- Add [tags](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/blog/tags/introduction.md) to posts and draft posts, as well as remove them.

## Before you begin
It’s important to note the following before starting to code:

+ A blog has a maximum limit of 100,000 posts. The size limit of a single blog post is 400KB.

+ With [Pricing Plans](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/pricing-plans/introduction.md), exclusive blog content can only be accessed by readers with a subscription. Learn more about [creating blog post subscriptions](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-blog-creating-blog-post-subscriptions).

+ With [Wix Multilingual](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-multilingual-an-overview), a blog can be translated into multiple languages. Learn more about [translating a blog](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-multilingual-translating-your-blog).

  > Note: `translationId` is only returned in a post object if the [Multilingual app](https://www.wix.com/app-market/web-solution/wix-multilingual) is installed.

## Blog roles
Collaborators can create and manage blogs based on certain roles: 
- **Blog editor:** Can fully manage a blog, but not other areas of a site.
- **Blog writer:** Can create and publish their own posts on a blog.
- **Guest writer:** Can create posts, but can't publish them.
- **Managed writer:** Can't create posts, but a Wix user can attribute posts to them.

For more information, see [Blog roles and their associated permissions](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-blog-adding-writers-and-editors-in-wix-blog#blog-roles-and-their-associated-permissions).
