How to Create a Ghost Content API Key

To use this theme and connect your site to Ghost’s Content API, you need to generate a Content API Key from your Ghost admin panel. This key allows your website or theme to securely fetch content from your Ghost blog.

Follow these steps to create your Content API Key:

1. Open the Integrations Section

  • Log in to your Ghost Admin Dashboard.
  • In the left sidebar, click on Integrations. This is where you manage connections between Ghost and external services or custom themes.

2. Add a Custom Integration

  • Click the Add custom integration button.

3. Name Your Integration

  • Enter a name for your new integration. You can use any name that helps you remember what it’s for (e.g., “My Theme Content Key”).
  • Click Create to proceed.

4. Copy Your Content API Key

  • After creating the integration, Ghost will display several keys. Look for the Content API Key.
  • Hover over the key and click the copy icon to copy it to your clipboard.

Tip: Keep this key safe. You’ll need it to connect your theme or site to your Ghost content.
