@Rubel did you follow the [installation instructions](https://docs.ghost.org/api/javascript/#installation)? The snippet you’ve provided isn’t enough to diagnose where the problem may be as you haven’t included any information about what environment you’re trying to run in or how you’ve installed the required npm package

It Works Finally By Adding The Script In default.hbs.

```auto
 <script src="https://unpkg.com/@tryghost/content-api@1.0.0/umd/content-api.min.js"></script>
```
