How do I fetch a Ghost post?
Short answer: You can get ghost post in Ghost by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Ghost Get Ghost Post action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Post ID or Slug post_id | string | Required | Post ID or Slug. Example: abc123 or my-first-post |
Sample request
{"post_id": "e.g. abc123 or my-first-post"}
Returns
{"posts": [{"id": "abc123","html": "<p>Content</p>","slug": "my-first-post","title": "My First Post","status": "published"}]}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Get Ghost Post.
What does the Get Ghost Post action do in Ghost?
Returns a post by ID or slug with full content, metadata, author info. The standard lookup before update or for cross-system publishing workflows.
What inputs does Get Ghost Post require?
Required: Post ID or Slug. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Ghost returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Ghost returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Get Ghost Post support batch operations?
Run Get Ghost Post inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Ghost's rate limits.
