Ghost CMS Article API
A Ghost publishing workflow should preserve both the article’s content and the experience of editing it. A successful transfer is not just a record created through an interface; it is a draft that an editor can open, understand, revise, and preview.
Start with the right boundary
Keep content retrieval and privileged publishing operations separate in your architecture. Use the documentation for your destination and verify the editor’s behavior with representative content before automating a large library.
A practical workflow
01. Prepare clean content
Use a clear title, summary, body, tags, and image plan. Identify formatting that needs special treatment instead of hoping an import will preserve it.
02. Inspect a destination draft
Check headings, lists, links, images, and rich content in the editor. Record differences between the source article and the saved result.
03. Separate web and email intent
Decide whether the article is intended for the website, an email edition, or both. Review the audience and publication action before sending.
Before the next handoff
- The saved draft remains editable.
- Media references resolve in the destination.
- Email intent is reviewed separately.
KEEP THIS IN MIND
Converting markup can change its representation. Test a small representative article before treating a successful request as proof of a faithful import.
Does this site connect to my Ghost publication?
No. These are independent implementation notes. Any private integration requires your own Ghost environment and appropriate access.
