# Connect Ghost

> Publish TPC drafts to Ghost using a Custom Integration Admin API key

The Prompting Company publishes to Ghost using a Custom Integration's Admin API key.

## Before you start

* Owner or Administrator role on the Ghost site.
* Ghost 4.0 or later.

## Create a custom integration

1. In your Ghost admin panel, click the gear icon (**Settings**).
2. Open **Integrations**.
3. Scroll to **Custom integrations** and click **Add custom integration**.
4. Name it `TPC publisher` and click **Create**.

## Copy the admin API key

On the integration page, copy the **Admin API Key**. It looks like:

```text theme={null}
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
```

<Warning>
  Copy the **Admin API Key**, not the Content API Key. TPC needs write access, and only the admin key can create drafts.
</Warning>

## Connect in TPC

1. Open **Settings → Integrations** in your TPC product workspace.
2. Select **Ghost**.
3. Enter:
   * **Site URL** — your Ghost blog root, e.g. `https://blog.example.com`
   * **Admin API key** — the key you copied
4. Click **Save**, then **Test connection**.

## Troubleshooting

### 401 Unauthorized

Wrong key type — Content API keys are read-only. Regenerate a custom integration and copy the Admin API Key.

### 403 Forbidden

The Ghost site restricts custom integrations. Confirm your role is Owner or Administrator.

### Draft appears but images are missing

Ghost fetches images by URL. If TPC-hosted image URLs are blocked by your Ghost network policy, the draft still saves but images render as broken.
