Ghost Content API

Overview

The Ghost Content API provides read-only access to published content on a Ghost site. It is designed for public consumption in browsers, static site generators, and headless CMS frontends. All requests are GET-only, fully cacheable, and authenticated via a simple query parameter key.

When to Use

• Fetching published posts, pages, tags, authors, tiers, or settings from Ghost
• Building headless frontends (Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby, Eleventy, etc.) powered by Ghost
• Displaying Ghost content in external applications
• Implementing search, filtering, or content aggregation from Ghost data

Authentication

Content API keys are obtained from Ghost Admin > Settings > Integrations > Custom Integration.
