# Hashnode API Skill
|
||||
|
||||
Comprehensive assistance with the Hashnode GraphQL API for blog management, content creation, and user interaction on the Hashnode platform.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use This Skill
|
||||
|
||||
This skill should be triggered when:
|
||||
- Building integrations with Hashnode blogs or publications
|
||||
- Querying Hashnode posts, users, or publication data
|
||||
- Creating, publishing, or managing blog posts via API
|
||||
- Implementing authentication with Hashnode Personal Access Tokens
|
||||
- Working with GraphQL queries or mutations for Hashnode
|
||||
- Debugging Hashnode API responses or error codes
|
||||
- Setting up pagination (cursor-based or offset-based) for Hashnode data
|
||||
- Implementing newsletter subscriptions, comments, or user interactions
|
||||
- Migrating from the legacy Hashnode API to the new GQL endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### API Endpoint
|
||||
All Hashnode API requests go through a single GraphQL endpoint:
|
||||
- **Endpoint:** `https://gql.hashnode.com` (POST only)
|
||||
- **Playground:** Visit the same URL in a browser to explore the API
|
||||
- **Legacy API:** `https://api.hashnode.com` is discontinued - migrate to new endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication
|
||||
- Most queries work without authentication
|
||||
- Sensitive fields (drafts, email, etc.) require authentication
|
||||
- All mutations require authentication
|
||||
- **Authentication method:** Add `Authorization` header with your Personal Access Token (PAT)
|
||||
- **Get your PAT:** https://hashnode.com/settings/developer → "Generate New Token"
|
||||
|
||||
### Rate Limits
|
||||
- **Queries:** 20,000 requests per minute
|
||||
- **Mutations:** 500 requests per minute
|
||||
|
||||
### Caching
|
||||
- Almost all query responses are cached on the Edge
|
||||
- Cache is automatically purged when you mutate data
|
||||
- Check cache status in playground (bottom right: HIT/MISS)
|
||||
- **Important:** Always request the `id` field to avoid stale data
|
||||
|
||||
### Error Codes
|
||||
Common GraphQL error codes:
|
||||
- `GRAPHQL_VALIDATION_FAILED` - Invalid query structure
|
||||
- `UNAUTHENTICATED` - Missing or invalid auth token
|
||||
- `FORBIDDEN` - Insufficient permissions
|
||||
- `BAD_USER_INPUT` - Invalid input data
|
||||
- `NOT_FOUND` - Resource doesn't exist
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Reference
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Fetch Publication Details
|
||||
|
||||
```graphql
|
||||
query Publication {
|
||||
publication(host: "blog.developerdao.com") {
|
||||
id
|
||||
isTeam
|
||||
title
|
||||
about {
|
||||
markdown
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Get basic information about a publication by its hostname.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Fetch Recent Blog Posts
|
||||
|
||||
```graphql
|
||||
query Publication {
|
||||
publication(host: "blog.developerdao.com") {
|
||||
id
|
||||
isTeam
|
||||
title
|
||||
posts(first: 10) {
|
||||
edges {
|
||||
node {
|
||||
id
|
||||
title
|
||||
brief
|
||||
url
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
pageInfo {
|
||||
endCursor
|
||||
hasNextPage
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Retrieve the latest 10 posts from a publication with cursor-based pagination support.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Fetch a Single Article by Slug
|
||||
|
||||
```graphql
|
||||
query Publication {
|
||||
publication(host: "blog.developerdao.com") {
|
||||
id
|
||||
post(slug: "the-developers-guide-to-chainlink-vrf-foundry-edition") {
|
||||
id
|
||||
title
|
||||
content {
|
||||
markdown
|
||||
html
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Get full content of a specific article using its slug and publication hostname.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Cursor-Based Pagination (Infinite Scroll)
|
||||
|
||||
```graphql
|
||||
query Publication {
|
||||
publication(host: "blog.developerdao.com") {
|
||||
id
|
||||
posts(
|
||||
first: 10
|
||||
after: "NjQxZTc4NGY0M2NiMzc2YjAyNzNkMzU4XzIwMjMtMDMtMjVUMDQ6Mjc6NTkuNjQxWg=="
|
||||
) {
|
||||
edges {
|
||||
node {
|
||||
id
|
||||
title
|
||||
brief
|
||||
url
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
pageInfo {
|
||||
endCursor
|
||||
hasNextPage
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use `endCursor` from previous response as `after` parameter to fetch next page.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Offset-Based Pagination (Traditional Pages)
|
||||
|
||||
```graphql
|
||||
query Followers {
|
||||
user(username: "SandroVolpicella") {
|
||||
id
|
||||
followers(pageSize: 10, page: 1) {
|
||||
nodes {
|
||||
id
|
||||
username
|
||||
}
|
||||
pageInfo {
|
||||
hasNextPage
|
||||
hasPreviousPage
|
||||
previousPage
|
||||
nextPage
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate between pages using explicit page numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Get Entity Count (Series Count Example)
|
||||
|
||||
```graphql
|
||||
query SeriesCount {
|
||||
publication(host: "engineering.hashnode.com") {
|
||||
id
|
||||
seriesList(first: 0) {
|
||||
totalDocuments
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"data": {
|
||||
"publication": {
|
||||
"seriesList": {
|
||||
"totalDocuments": 3
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use `totalDocuments` field to get counts without fetching all data.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Fetch Posts from a Series
|
||||
|
||||
```graphql
|
||||
query Publication {
|
||||
publication(host: "lo-victoria.com") {
|
||||
id
|
||||
series(slug: "graphql") {
|
||||
id
|
||||
name
|
||||
posts(first: 10) {
|
||||
edges {
|
||||
node {
|
||||
id
|
||||
title
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Get all posts belonging to a specific series.
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Fetch Static Pages
|
||||
|
||||
```graphql
|
||||
query Publication {
|
||||
publication(host: "lo-victoria.com") {
|
||||
id
|
||||
staticPages(first: 10) {
|
||||
edges {
|
||||
node {
|
||||
id
|
||||
title
|
||||
slug
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Retrieve custom static pages like "About", "Contact", etc.
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. Fetch Single Static Page
|
||||
|
||||
```graphql
|
||||
query Publication {
|
||||
publication(host: "lo-victoria.com") {
|
||||
id
|
||||
staticPage(slug: "about") {
|
||||
id
|
||||
title
|
||||
content {
|
||||
markdown
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Get content of a specific static page by slug.
|
||||
|
||||
### 10. Authentication Example - Get Drafts (Requires Auth)
|
||||
|
||||
```graphql
|
||||
query Publication($first: Int!, $host: String) {
|
||||
publication(host: $host) {
|
||||
id
|
||||
drafts(first: $first) {
|
||||
edges {
|
||||
node {
|
||||
id
|
||||
title
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Headers:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"Authorization": "your-personal-access-token-here"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Variables:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"first": 10,
|
||||
"host": "your-blog-host.hashnode.dev"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Drafts can only be queried by the publication owner with valid authentication.

## Working with This Skill
|
||||
|
||||
### For Beginners
|
||||
Start by understanding the core concepts above, then explore:
|
||||
1. **API Endpoint:** Test queries in the playground at https://gql.hashnode.com
|
||||
2. **Authentication:** Generate your PAT at https://hashnode.com/settings/developer
|
||||
3. **Basic Queries:** Try fetching publication details and blog posts first
|
||||
4. **Pagination:** Start with cursor-based pagination for simple infinite scroll
|
||||
|
||||
### For Intermediate Users
|
||||
Focus on:
|
||||
1. **Authentication flows:** Implement PAT-based auth in your application
|
||||
2. **Error handling:** Handle GraphQL error codes properly
|
||||
3. **Pagination strategies:** Choose between cursor-based and offset-based based on your UI needs
|
||||
4. **Caching considerations:** Always request `id` fields to avoid stale data
|
||||
5. **Content extraction:** Work with both markdown and HTML content formats
|
||||
|
||||
### For Advanced Users
|
||||
Explore:
|
||||
1. **Mutations:** Publishing posts, managing drafts, updating content
|
||||
2. **Complex queries:** Nested queries with multiple levels (publication → series → posts)
|
||||
3. **Batch operations:** Optimize API calls with GraphQL field selection
|
||||
4. **Webhook integration:** Handle Hashnode webhook events
|
||||
5. **Rate limit optimization:** Implement efficient request batching
|
||||
|
||||
### Navigation Tips
|
||||
- **Start broad → go deep:** Begin with publication queries, then drill into specific posts/series
|
||||
- **Check authentication:** If you get `UNAUTHENTICATED` errors, verify your PAT is in the Authorization header
|
||||
- **Test in playground:** Use https://gql.hashnode.com to test queries before implementing
|
||||
- **Monitor cache:** Watch cache HIT/MISS status to optimize your queries
|
||||
- **Read error messages:** GraphQL errors include helpful details in the `extensions.code` field
|
||||
|
||||

||||
## Important Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- **Always request the `id` field** on objects to avoid stale cached data
|
||||
- **Rate limits are generous** but respect them for production apps
|
||||
- **Cache behavior:** Most responses are cached; mutations automatically purge related cache
|
||||
- **Breaking changes are rare** and announced well in advance on Discord
|
||||
- **Legacy API is shut down** - use `gql.hashnode.com` only
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Getting UNAUTHENTICATED errors?
|
||||
- Verify your Personal Access Token is valid
|
||||
- Check the `Authorization` header is set correctly
|
||||
- Ensure you're requesting fields that require auth (drafts, email, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
### Not seeing latest data?
|
||||
- Always request the `id` field to avoid stale cached data
|
||||
- Check if response is HIT/MISS in playground
|
||||
|
||||
### Query validation failed?
|
||||
- Verify your GraphQL syntax in the playground first
|
||||
- Check required parameters are provided
|
||||
- Ensure field names match the schema
|
||||
|
||||
### Rate limit reached?
|
||||
- Queries: 20k/min is very generous - optimize your queries
|
||||
- Mutations: 500/min limit - batch operations where possible
|
||||
- Use caching on your end to reduce API calls
