ghost-client

This module connects to your Ghost blog and gives you a list of what you need, posts, tags or users.

Ghost API is currently in Beta, you have to configure your blog to access the API and you have to get a token or a ID and a Secret Code to get what you want.

See Ghost API Documentation

[](https://nodei.co/npm/ghost-client/)

Installation

To download the Ghost API Client that I've made simply download it via NPM. NPM is always going to have the latest stable version of it. Be free to add any flag after the command such as --save or --save-dev

$ npm install ghost-client

Authentication: Client Authentication

To use the Client Authentication method described on the API Docs of Ghost you have to give the instance of the Ghost API Client a clientId and a clientSecret. See Ghost Docs to find how to obtain it

var ghost = require('ghost-client')
var Client = ghost.createClient({
  endpoint: 'http://my-ghost-blog.com',
  clientId: 'ghost-frontend',
  clientSecret: 'rabbitsareawesome'
})

Authentication: User Authentication

To use the User Authentication method described on the API Docs of Ghost you have to give the instance of the Ghost API Client a Bearer Token. See Ghost Docs to find how to obtain it

var ghost = require('ghost-client')
var Client = ghost.createClient({
  endpoint: 'http://my-ghost-blog.com',
  token: 'Bearer 0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X'
})

Available resources and methods

Client means the variable that has the client to connect to the Ghost API correctly configured. See authentication again to see more about that variable.

Client.posts()

Brings posts list from a Ghost Blog.

Client.posts({}, function (err, posts) {
  if (err) console.log(err)
  console.log(posts)
})

Client.tags()

Brings tags list from a Ghost Blog.

Client.tags({}, function (err, tags) {
  if(err) console.log(err)
  console.log(tags)
})

Client.users()

Brings users list from a Ghost Blog.

Client.users({}, function (err, users) {
  if(err) console.log(err)
  console.log(users)
})

Adding parameters to available resources and methods

If you want to add a parameter when you run a function, for example you want to use the limit parameter to limit the resources that you want to get, simply write them into the array before the callback.

Check the Ghost API Docs to learn more about parameters

// Example using the 'limit' parameter to get posts
Client.posts({ limit: 4 }, function (err, posts) {
	if(err) console.log(err)
	console.log(posts)
})
