About the Blog API

Wix Blog allows 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.

With the Blog API, you can:

  • Create and manage posts and draft posts.
  • Assign categories to posts and draft posts, as well as update and remove them.
  • Add tags to posts and draft posts, as well as remove them.

You can use Pricing Plans to limit access to exclusive blog content by subscription. Learn more about creating blog post subscriptions.
