Hashnode API

⭐ Beginner's Pick Social / No Auth Required Beginner HTTPS
Free to Use Varies (check documentation)

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.

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
