​
Overview

The Ghost integration allows you to make your Ghost posts available in audio or video with BeyondWords. Once integrated, BeyondWords will automatically:
  1. Create audio versions of your posts.
  2. Embed the BeyondWords Player directly into your content.

​
Set up

1

Access Ghost Admin settings

In Ghost Admin, go to Settings > Integrations.
2

Add custom integration

Click Add custom integration. Name it BeyondWords, then click Add.
3

Copy API credentials

Copy the Admin API Key and API URL, then paste them where needed.
4

Access Code Injection settings

In Ghost Admin, go to Settings > Code injection.
5

Add the BeyondWords script

Click Open, then navigate to Site Footer. Paste the BeyondWords Ghost Helper script and click Save.
6

Choose the content format

Select the embed code that matches the audio or video format you want to embed.
<script async defer src="https://proxy.beyondwords.io/npm/@beyondwords/ghost-helper@latest" 
onload="new BeyondWords.GhostHelper({
  projectId: <ID>
})">
</script>
Replace <ID> with your project ID.

​
Skipping audio for specific posts

If there’s a post you don’t want BeyondWords to convert into audio, you can use a tag to exclude it from audio generation. To do this:
  1. In the Ghost post editor, open the Post settings side panel.
  2. Scroll to the Tags field.
  3. Add the tag #beyondwords-skip.
When this tag is present, BeyondWords will not generate audio for that post, and no player will be embedded.
If you add this tag to a post that already has audio, any future changes to the post will not trigger new audio generation.

​
Completion

You’re all set! BeyondWords is now fully integrated with your Ghost site. Next time you publish a post, an audio version will be created automatically. Once generated (this should take just a few minutes), it will be embedded in your post using the BeyondWords Player.
