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
