Connect Strapi to Rankply
Push entries to your self-hosted Strapi v4/v5. Follow the steps below — it takes about 3 minutes.
How to connect Strapi
Self-hosted Strapi v4 or v5. Strapi Cloud also works — same steps.
Sign in to your Strapi admin (e.g. yoursite.com/admin).
In the left sidebar, click Settings → Global Settings → API Tokens.
Click Create new API Token (top right).
Name it Rankply. Token type: Full access. Token duration: Unlimited.
If your security policy forbids unlimited tokens, pick a long duration (1 year) and rotate before it expires.
Click Save → copy the token shown.
Paste the token + the public URL of your Strapi instance (https://yourstrapi.com) into Rankply.
If it doesn’t work
- Your Strapi instance must be reachable from the public internet so we can hit its API. If it's only on a local network or behind basic auth, the connection test will fail.
- If you want to scope the token more tightly than Full Access, give it create + update + publish permissions on the Article (or your Blog) content type.
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 Strapi.
You approve, we publish
You read each article and approve it or ask for changes. Then we publish it on your Strapi 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.
