The setup guide, in full

Word for word what the connect form asks, in the order it asks. Nothing here wants your Ghost password — the credentials below are ones you create and can revoke.

  1. 1

    Add a custom integration

    It gives SearchBlueprint its own key to your blog.

    1. 1In Ghost admin, open SettingsAdvancedIntegrations.
    2. 2Click Add custom integration.
    3. 3Name it and click Add.
  2. 2

    What's your Ghost site URL?

    Usually your blog's address.

    1. 1On the integration, copy the API URL and paste it below.
  3. 3

    Paste your Admin API key

    It looks like id:secret.

    1. 1Copy the Admin API key (the long id:secret value) and paste it below.
  4. 4

    Content API Key (optional)

    Lets us read back published posts. Copy it from the same integration screen, or skip.

If it doesn’t connect

The checklist the connect form shows when a test fails. Check each one in order.

  • The site URL matches the API URL shown on the custom integration.
  • The Admin API Key was copied in full (it contains a colon).
  • The custom integration has not been deleted in Ghost.

Ghost is not open yet

The Ghost connector is built, but we have not yet watched one publish a real article and come back reachable — so its tile is shown and not choosable, and the steps above are what connecting will involve once it opens. The Publishing grid marks which platforms are open today.
