Starting a new venture? Need to upgrade your web or mobile app? RapidDev builds Bubble apps with your growth in mind.
Step 1: Begin by Creating a New Application in Bubble.
To do this, navigate to your Bubble dashboard and select 'New App.' Assign a name to your application. Crafting the name, setting a type, and choosing your templates are all tasks that can be completed from here. Once you finish with this, you can proceed to the Bubble application editor.
Step 2: Add Ghost Plugin from the Plugin Tab.
In the Bubble application editor, click on the 'Plugins' in the left-side panel. Then, go to the 'Add Plugins' section and look for Ghost. After you've found the Ghost plugin, you will need to select 'Install.' After the plugin is installed, you can proceed to the next phase.
Step 3: Setup Ghost in API Integration Panel.
Go to the 'Settings' tab and select 'API' in the dropdown menu. Confirm that the 'Enable the Backend Workflows' panel is active. After you've completed this, return to the Ghost plugin panel.
Step 4: Configure Ghost Plugin Credentials.
Under the 'Plugins' tab, click on Ghost. This will prompt you with two significant parameters: 'Content API Key' and 'API URL.' You would need your Ghost account's API Credentials to fill in these fields.
Step 5: Obtain Ghost API Credentials.
Log in to your Ghost account and navigate to the 'Integrations' portion of your dashboard. Click on 'Add Custom Integration.' Give a name to your integration and click on 'Create'. This will generate your 'Content API Key' and 'API URL.'
Step 6: Enter Ghost API Credentials in Bubble.io
Return to Bubble.io and paste the API credentials that you got from Ghost into the corresponding parameters.
Step 7: Test the API in Workflow.
To test the API, navigate to the workflow section of the Bubble.io app. You may set up actions that call the Ghost API and verify if the data is fetched correctly.
Congratulations, you have just integrated Ghost with Bubble.io. The configurations could be a bit technical but following these steps will ensure smooth integration. At this point, you can utilize the data fetched from the Ghost API in your Bubble.io application interface. Remember to adhere to Bubble.io and Ghost’s terms of use while you build away.
