Connect Joomla to Rankply
Publish to a Joomla 4+ site via the Web Services API. Follow the steps below — it takes about 5 minutes.
How to connect Joomla
Joomla 4.0 or newer (Web Services API is core since 4.0).
Sign in to your Joomla admin (e.g. yoursite.com/administrator).
Go to Users → Manage → click your user (or add a new one for Rankply).
Open the Joomla API Token tab → click the eye icon to reveal the token, then Reset if you want a fresh one.
Make sure the user belongs to a group with permission to create articles (Author group or higher).
Copy the token shown.
Paste your site URL + the token into Rankply.
If it doesn’t work
- If the test returns 404, your install is older than 4.0 — the Web Services API doesn't exist in Joomla 3.
- If the test returns 401, the Joomla user account doesn't have permission to create articles. Move them to the Author or Editor group.
What Rankply does once connected
Articles every month
Every month your account manager writes 4 articles aimed at the prompts you're losing — drafted with AI, written up and fact-checked by a person — and sends them to you before anything reaches Joomla.
You approve, we publish
You read each article and approve it or ask for changes. Then we publish it on your Joomla site with title, body, cover image and tags — or leave it as a draft if you'd rather press Publish yourself.
We track what AI engines cite
Every month we re-run the same prompts on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, so you can see whether AI engines start naming you — with the raw answers as proof.
