Configuration
5 fields, none required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
post_id Ghost id of the post — the 24-character ObjectID from a previous step. | string | No | — | — | — |
slug URL slug of the post, used instead of an id to look it up. | string | No | — | — | — |
include Extra related data to load, comma-separated. Posts and pages accept 'authors' and 'tags'; without it neither is present in the response. | string | No | — | one of "authors", "tags", "authors,tags" | — |
fields Comma-separated list of fields to return, for a leaner response (for example 'id,title,url'). Does not combine well with include. | string | No | — | — | — |
formats Content formats to return, comma-separated. The Admin API returns 'lexical' by default; ask for 'html,lexical' when the workflow needs rendered HTML. | string | No | — | one of "lexical", "html", "html,lexical" | — |
- At least one of post_id, slug must be set.
Output
One shape.
