# Ghost

> Publish directly to your Ghost blog via the Ghost Admin API.

Publish directly to your Ghost blog via the Ghost Admin API.

1. Click **Connect Ghost**.
2. Enter your **Ghost site URL** (for example `https://myblog.com`).
3. Enter your **Ghost Admin API key**. Create one in **Ghost Admin > Settings > Integrations > Add custom integration** — the Admin API key looks like `{id}:{secret}`.
4. theStacc tests the connection as you save.

Posts are created with full content, featured images, tags, and meta data.

**Key format.** The Admin API key must be in `{id}:{secret}` form and **20 to 200 characters** long. The `{secret}` half must be valid hexadecimal — that's how Ghost keys are issued — and theStacc uses it to sign a short-lived token when it talks to your site. If the format is off, you'll see *"Invalid API key format. Expected format: \{id}:\{secret}"* or *"Invalid API key secret — must be a valid hex string."*
