[SOLVED] Obtaining Content API Key to Create Custom Blog Sections

Integrations & API
1

I’ve tried searching through the forum and couldn’t find a topic with a similar problem to mine, so apologies if it’s been answered before.

I want to create sections on a new page where each section pulls articles based on their tag. Similar to how it works in the Headline theme, but I want it on my new page, not the home page.

Research has shown me that I would need a Content API Key, and to get one, I need to create a custom integration. This is where my problem starts. I am on the Starter Plan and do not have access to creating custom integrations; however, it also says that the Starter Plan has access to the Content API.

This confuses me. So, my question is, is there a way to get the Content API so I can use it in an HTML block, or is there a different way I can pull my own blog posts to be used in a custom blog section I create in an HTML block?

I hope I have worded this correctly.

I think you can probably inspect the page source and find a content API key. I’d start there! :slight_smile: Look for ‘data-key’= in the code.

Please report back if that works. I’m not hosted at Ghost Pro, so can’t directly test.

(If that doesn’t get you sorted, send your host an email asking!)

You are incredible! I didn’t think it would be that simple, and now I feel like I made an unnecessary topic :sweat_smile:

Hopefully, others may have a similar lack of tech know-how as I and can benefit from this answer.
