EDWH Ghost Client

This Client is compatible with v3 and v4 of the Ghost CMS Admin and Content API's.

Installation

pip install edwh-ghost

Usage

The GhostAdmin class can be instantiated as follows:

from ghost import GhostAdmin
from dotenv import dotenv_values

config = dotenv_values(".env")

# .env can be used, but config values can also be simply hardcoded
ga = GhostAdmin(
    config["GHOST_SITE"],
    adminAPIKey=config["GHOST_ADMIN_KEY"],
    contentAPIKey=config["GHOST_CONTENT_KEY"],
    api_version="v4",  # works like a train
)
print(ga.site())

If no admin API key is available, the GhostContent class can be used, which has read-only access to public endpoints.

After creating a GhostClient instance, the different Resources can be used:

from ghost.resources import *

posts: PostResource = ga.posts

# READ
multiple = posts(limit=5)  # Ghost Result Set
# alias for
posts.get(limit=5)  # Ghost Result Set

some_post = posts.get("some_id")  # Ghost Result 

for post in posts.paginate():
    # iterate without limit
    print(post)  # Ghost Result

# UPDATE
some_post.update({...})  # response dict  
# alias:
posts.update("some_id", {...})  # response dict  
# bulk:
multiple.update({...})  # response dict 

# DELETE
some_post.delete()  # bool of success
# alias:
posts.delete("some_id")  # bool of success
# bulk:
multiple.delete()  # list of bools of success

# CREATE
# one:
posts.create(title="...", etc="...")  # response dict
# bulk:
posts.create({...}, {...})  # list of response dicts

# some resources are read only:
authors: AuthorResource = ga.authors

authors()  # Ghost Result Set

authors.delete()  # error
