This is more of a question, per say. I’m experimenting by separating the content from the Ghost installation. I see Ghost has API built in so I thought, great! I want to use the front-end of my choice, a separated app. Is it possible to install Ghost Admin as standalone then fetch data from its REST API?
If not, do I need to install Ghost as normal then use routing to prevent the theme from rendering? Seem…wrong.
Sure, Ghost works great as a headless CMS :) easiest thing to do is to run a normal install and then enable “Private Mode” in Settings/General - after that, you can generate an API key under Integrations.
