Connecting Your Site

InkieAI supports native WordPress publishing via the WordPress REST API, native Ghost publishing via the Ghost Admin API, server-side framework setup guides, REST API reads, and signed webhook delivery. Each method is configured from the Site Settings panel.

For WordPress, create an Application Password from wp-admin under Users → Profile and authenticate over HTTPS with Basic Auth. WordPress 5.6+ includes Application Passwords by default, and the publishing user needs permission to create and publish posts. For Ghost, create a Custom Integration in Ghost Admin and paste the Admin API key in id:secret format. Ghost Admin API keys are used server-side to generate short-lived JWTs for publishing requests.

For Next.js, React, Angular, SvelteKit, Laravel, Remix, and Astro, keep the InkieAI API key server-side. Do not expose it through NEXT_PUBLIC_, VITE_, PUBLIC_, REACT_APP_, client environment files, or browser bundles. The integration guide in each site shows the framework-specific server route, loader, or private env pattern.

Custom webhooks are useful when you already have a publishing pipeline or internal CMS. InkieAI sends a signed POST request with the full article payload, including HTML, featured image URL, SEO fields, tags, and metadata. Use the signature header and the idempotency key to verify and safely retry publishes. Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Framer, and other CMS/site-builder workflows should use webhook/API middleware unless a native adapter is shown in Site Settings.
