Overview

Hashnode is a developer blogging platform whose public GraphQL API lets you query posts, publications, and author profiles without any authentication. It is a great API for building developer blog aggregators or personal portfolio feeds. Because it uses GraphQL, you send POST requests with a query string to a single endpoint.

Beginner Tip

Hashnode uses GraphQL, not REST — all requests go to the same endpoint as POST requests with a JSON body containing your query. Start with the publication query using a hostname to fetch recent posts from any Hashnode blog.

Available Data

Hashnode data via REST API

}

Field Reference

publication.title The name of the Hashnode publication or blog

posts.edges Paginated list of post edges, each containing a node with post details

node.title The title of an individual blog post

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

400 Bad Request with errors array in response Malformed GraphQL query syntax

✓ Validate your query in the Hashnode GraphQL playground at gql.hashnode.com before using it in code

Empty data response with no errors The publication hostname does not exist or is misspelled

✓ Double-check the host value — it should be the subdomain like username.hashnode.dev or a custom domain

Unexpected behavior when using GET instead of POST Sending a GET request to a GraphQL endpoint

✓ GraphQL endpoints require POST requests with a JSON body containing a query field, not GET requests with query parameters

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
