# Connect Ghost and publish articles from Pressmaster

> Connect Ghost to Pressmaster via an Admin API key to publish articles directly to your Ghost publication, self-hosted or Ghost Pro.

Connect your Ghost publication to Pressmaster using Ghost's Admin API key and publish articles directly from Pressmaster. This integration works with both self-hosted Ghost and Ghost Pro.

## Prerequisites

* A Ghost publication (self-hosted or Ghost Pro)
* Admin access to generate an Admin API key in Ghost

## Get your Ghost Admin API key

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Ghost Settings">
    In your Ghost Admin panel, go to **Settings > Integrations**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a custom integration">
    Click **Add custom integration** and enter a name (for example, "Pressmaster"). Click **Add**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy your credentials">
    Ghost displays the integration details. Copy the **Admin API Key** and the **API URL**, you'll need both in Pressmaster.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Connect Ghost in Pressmaster

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    Go to **Settings > Integrations > Blog** in Pressmaster and toggle the blog switcher on.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Ghost">
    Choose **Ghost** as your platform.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your credentials">
    Paste your Ghost **API URL** and **Admin API Key** into the corresponding fields.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect">
    Click **Connect Ghost**. Pressmaster verifies the connection and displays a success message.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set publishing preferences">
    In the **Manage Ghost Integration** window, select whether articles should be **published** immediately or saved as **drafts**. Choose an author from the list, then click **Update Ghost Settings**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After connecting

Articles published from Pressmaster appear in the **Posts** section of your Ghost publication. If you saved them as drafts, review and publish them from Ghost Admin when you're ready.

<Tip>
  Ghost integration works with both Ghost.org (Ghost Pro) and self-hosted Ghost installations. Use the same Admin API key setup steps for either option.
