Ghost
Ghost is an open-source (MIT) publishing platform for professional publications, newsletters, memberships, and paid subscriptions. It can be self-hosted for free or run as the managed Ghost(Pro) service, with all Ghost(Pro) revenue funding the non-profit Ghost Foundation. Every Ghost site exposes two documented public REST APIs under https://{site}/ghost/api/. The Content API is a read-only, key-authenticated interface for delivering published posts, pages, tags, authors, tiers, and settings to front-ends and static sites. The Admin API is a read-write, token-authenticated (JWT) interface for managing posts, pages, members, tags, tiers, offers, newsletters, users, media, themes, and webhooks.
Ghost publishes 33 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Admin - Images API, Admin - Labels API, Admin - Members API, and 30 more. Tagged areas include Publishing, Newsletters, Membership, Subscription, and CMS.
The Ghost catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Ghost’s developer surface includes engineering blog, authentication, documentation, changelog, developer portal, pricing, CLI, and 51 more developer resources.
