Notes

  • The Admin API Key follows the format id:secret — copy it exactly as shown in Ghost Admin → Settings → Integrations.
  • Update Post requires the updated_at field (from a previous Get Post call) to prevent overwriting concurrent changes.
  • Send Newsletter requires the post to already be published before triggering delivery.
  • Ghost Cloud and self-hosted Ghost instances are both supported, provided the Admin URL is accessible.
