Use Cases

When you store blog IDs in your database and need to retrieve the full content.
# User clicked on a blog from your database
user_saved_blog_id = get_from_database("user_bookmarks")
blog = get_blog_by_id(user_saved_blog_id)
When building admin panels or CMS interfaces that work with UUIDs.
# Admin editing a blog
blog = get_blog_by_id(selected_blog_id)
display_editor(blog)
When integrating with other services that reference blogs by UUID.
# External service sends you a blog_id
webhook_data = {"blog_id": "ec94c8ac-..."}
blog = get_blog_by_id(webhook_data["blog_id"])

​
Best Practices

Validate UUID format - Before making the request, validate that the ID is a valid UUID to avoid 404 errors.
Cache blog content - Blog posts don’t change frequently. Cache for 5-10 minutes to reduce API calls.
Handle 404 gracefully - Always check for 404 responses and show appropriate error messages to users.
For public-facing blog pages, use the Get Blog by Slug endpoint instead. It provides cleaner URLs and better SEO.
The blog_id must be a valid UUID v4. Invalid formats will return a 404 error.
