# Ghost Admin API Use the bundled standard-library client. The connector injects: - `$GHOST_SITE_URL` — site root, such as `https://blog.example.com` - `$GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY` — Ghost custom integration key (`id:hexsecret`) The key grants administrative publishing access. Never print, log, or place it in command arguments. ```bash G="$SKILL_DIR/scripts/ghost.py" [ -f "$G" ] || G=$(find /tmp -maxdepth 8 -path '*/skills/*/ghost/scripts/ghost.py' 2>/dev/null | head -1) [ -f "$G" ] || { echo "ghost script not found" >&2; exit 1; } python3 "$G" posts --limit 10 ``` ## Create a private draft ```bash python3 "$G" create --title "Title" --html-file article.html --status draft --confirm ``` Ghost's Admin API accepts HTML through `?source=html`. Convert Markdown to HTML first. `create` is a dry run unless the trailing argument is `--confirm`. ## Publish ```bash python3 "$G" create --title "Title" --html-file article.html --status published python3 "$G" create --title "Title" --html-file article.html --status published --confirm ``` The first command only prints the proposed operation. Before the confirmed call, show the final title and body and obtain explicit approval. Use the returned `.posts[0].url`; never construct or guess a URL. ## Update an existing post Ghost requires the current `updated_at` value for conflict detection: ```bash python3 "$G" update --id POST_ID --updated-at "2026-07-21T12:00:00.000Z" \ --title "Revised title" --html-file revised.html python3 "$G" update --id POST_ID --updated-at "2026-07-21T12:00:00.000Z" \ --title "Revised title" --html-file revised.html --confirm ``` ## Errors | HTTP | Meaning | Action | |---|---|---| | 401 | Invalid/revoked Admin API key | Reconnect Ghost with a current custom-integration key | | 403 | Integration lacks access | Check the integration and site permissions | | 409 | Stale `updated_at` | Re-read the post, review changes, and retry with its latest timestamp | | 422 | Invalid post payload | Surface Ghost's validation message and fix the content | If a confirmed create/update ends with a network error, the result is unknown: do not repeat the write. Run `posts`, compare title/status/updated time, and only retry after proving Ghost did not accept the original request. After a confirmed publish returns a real URL, record it once with `publish_artifact(kind="article", channel="ghost", ...)`.
