Overview
The JSON Blog Export feature on Access Volcanic allows you to easily extract structured blog data directly from your website. Whether you're integrating with another platform, backing up content, or performing a migration, this feature streamlines the process.
📌Note: Images are not included in the JSON feed. For image export options, contact Professional Services or use tools like Site Sucker.
Key Benefits
With the JSON Blog Export feature, you can:
Retrieve blog data in structured format – Makes it easy to integrate with third-party tools or internal systems.
Export content without development effort – No coding required to get blog titles, URLs, and content.
Maintain an up-to-date data source – Pulls live data directly from your site for accuracy.
Access the Blog JSON Feed
Use the following URL structure to access your JSON feed:
https://[your-website-domain]/api/v1/blogs/search.json?per_page=20&page=1
Example: https://www.123.com/api/v1/blogs/search.json?per_page=20&page=1
This returns the 20 most recently published blogs on your site
Adjust the Number of Blogs Returned
Modify the per_page value to increase or decrease how many blogs are returned per request.
Example: Retrieve 50 Blogs
https://www.123.com/api/v1/blogs/search.json?per_page=50&page=1
🤓 Tip: Keep per_page to 100 or fewer to ensure optimal loading speed and avoid timeouts.
Use Pagination for Larger Exports
To export more than the set limit (e.g. 20 or 50 blogs), adjust the page parameter to paginate through the dataset.
Example: Retrieve 100 Blogs in Two Pages
📌Note: Avoid making extremely large requests, e.g., 100+ pages, in a single session to reduce the risk of performance issues.
Check the Total Number of Blogs
Follow these steps to find how many blogs your site contains:
Log into Volcanic as an admin.
Click Your Website at the top.
Select Blogs from the dropdown menu.
Each admin page displays 20 blog posts. If you see 10 full pages, you have 200 blogs total.
RSS and XML Feed Alternatives
Access Volcanic sites do not support RSS or XML feeds by default. However, you can convert your JSON feed using third-party tools.
