ghost-vala

Unofficial Ghost API client library for Vala. Still a work in progress.

This is a simple API for publishing from ThiefMD, and will hopefully become fully compatible with time.

Compilation

I recommend including ghost-vala as a git submodule and adding ghost-vala/src/Ghost.vala to your sources list. This will avoid packaging conflicts and remote build system issues until I learn a better way to suggest this.

For libsoup3, use ghost-vala/src/Ghost3.vala.

Requirements

meson
ninja-build
valac
libgtk-3-dev

Building

meson build
cd build
meson configure -Denable_examples=true
ninja
./examples/hello-ghost

Examples require update to username and password, don't check this in

string user = "username";
string password = "password";

Quick Start

Authentication

Ghost.Client client = Client (url, username, password);
if (client.authenticate ()) {
    print ("You logged in!");
}

Simple Post

Ghost.Client client = Client (url, username, password);

string id;
string slug;
if (client.create_post_simple (out slug,
    out id,
    "Hello world",
    "<p>Hello ghost</p>"))
{
    print ("New post at %s/%s", url, slug);
}

Simple Image Upload

Ghost.Client client = Client (url, username, password);

string id;
string slug;
if (client.upload_image_simple (
    out file_url,
    "/home/user/Pictures/photo.jpeg"))
{
    print ("New image at %s", file_url);
}
