Ghost Integration

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Navigate to Ghost Integrations

Log in to your Ghost Admin panel. Go to Settings → Integrations and scroll down to the Advanced section. This is where you will create a custom integration for Rank Sector.

Step 2: Create Custom Integration

Click "Add custom integration" in the Advanced section. Name the integration "Rank Sector" and click "Add" to create it.

Step 3: Copy API Credentials

After creating the integration, Ghost will display your API credentials. You will need:

• Content API Key — Used for reading public content
• Admin API Key — Used for creating and managing posts (this is the key you need for Rank Sector)
• API URL — Your Ghost site's API endpoint (e.g., https://your-site.ghost.io)

Step 4: Configure Rank Sector Integration

In your Rank Sector dashboard, navigate to Integrations and select Ghost. Paste your Admin API Key and API URL into the designated fields. Click "Test Connection" to verify that Rank Sector can communicate with your Ghost site.

Step 5: Publish Articles

Once connected, configure your preferred publishing settings:

• Publishing status — Choose whether articles are published as draft or published on Ghost
• Default tags — Set default tags that will be applied to all articles sent from Rank Sector

Your integration is now complete. Articles generated in Rank Sector will be automatically sent to your Ghost blog based on your configuration.

What Gets Published

When you publish an article through Rank Sector, the following data is sent to your Ghost blog:

• Article title
• Full HTML content
• Featured image
• Meta data (meta title and description)
• Tags
• Publication status (draft or published)

Troubleshooting

API key not accepted

Ensure you are using the Admin API Key, not the Content API Key. The Admin API Key is longer and is required for write operations. You can find both keys in Ghost Admin under Settings → Integrations → Rank Sector.

Unable to connect

Verify that your Ghost API URL is in the correct format. It should be your Ghost site's base URL without a trailing slash (e.g., https://your-site.ghost.io). Ensure your Ghost site is accessible from the internet and not behind a firewall that blocks API requests.

Images not appearing

Verify that your image URLs are publicly accessible. Ghost requires that featured images and inline images are hosted at publicly reachable URLs. If you are using a self-hosted Ghost instance, ensure your image storage is properly configured.
