Hashnode

Hashnode is a blogging platform for developers and engineering teams, offering publications on a custom domain, a headless CMS mode, and a public GraphQL API covering posts, drafts, publications, users, tags, series, comments and documentation projects. The API is a single GraphQL endpoint with anonymous introspection; authentication is a Personal Access Token in the Authorization header, with no OAuth and no scopes. Since 13 May 2026 the API has been a paid feature - anonymous public reads still work, but every publication-scoped read and every write mutation requires the target publication to hold an active Hashnode Pro plan. Hashnode publishes no OpenAPI and no MCP server, shipping an official Agent Skill instead.

Hashnode publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Blogging, Developer Platform, GraphQL, Content Management, and Publications.

The Hashnode catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Hashnode’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, pricing, signup flow, and 30 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/hashnode: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  description: The Hashnode Public API is a GraphQL API that queries publication data, manages posts and drafts, and creates
    content via mutations. All requests are POSTed to a single endpoint at https://gql-beta.hashnode.com. Introspection is
    enabled and anonymous, so the SDL is the published contract - 123 types, 13 root queries and 9 root mutations. Anonymous
    public reads (post, feed, user, tag) require no token; publication-scoped reads and all mutations require a Personal Access
    Token and an active Pro plan on the target publication. The legacy endpoint gql.hashnode.com now returns HTTP 301 to a
    deprecation notice.
