# Connect Ghost

> Connect your Ghost blog with an Admin API key so Ryze can publish posts straight to your site.

Ghost connects with a **custom integration** — a name and Admin API key you create in Ghost that lets Ryze publish posts without sharing your login. Once connected, programmatic articles publish straight to your Ghost site.

## Step 1 — Create a custom integration in Ghost

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    In **Ghost Admin**, go to **Settings → Integrations** (search "integrations" in settings to jump there).

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a custom integration">
    Click **Add custom integration**, give it a name like `Ryze`, and create it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the Admin API Key">
    On the integration's page, copy the **Admin API Key**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Use the **Admin API Key**, not the Content API Key. The Admin key is what lets Ryze publish; the Content key is read-only and won't work.
</Warning>

## Step 2 — Connect in Ryze

In **Workspace Settings → Integrations**, click **Connect** on the Ghost card and fill in:

* **Blog URL** — your Ghost site, e.g. `https://myblog.ghost.io`
* **Admin API key** — the key you just copied

Click **Continue**. Ryze verifies the connection and shows your site title.

## Troubleshooting

* **Key rejected** — make sure you copied the **Admin** API Key (it looks like `id:secret`), not the Content API Key.
* **Can't reach the site** — the Blog URL must be your Ghost admin domain and use `https://`. Ghost(Pro) sites use a `*.ghost.io` domain.
* **Wrong site connected** — each key belongs to one Ghost site; create the integration on the site you want to publish to.
