Returns a richer record than the list endpoints. Key differences: * **Rich author object** — bio, website, social links, and avatar URL instead of just a name * **Named taxonomies** — `categories`, `tags`, and `companies` each include a display `name` alongside the `slug` / `symbol`, making them ready to render directly * **`content.html` preview** — the article's "Key Highlights" section (heading + bullet list) if one is present, or the first 500 characters of plain text as a fallback. This is not the full article body. * **`url`** — the canonical link to the full article on [ngnmarket.com/blog](https://ngnmarket.com/blog) Use slugs from any list or [search](/api-reference/blog/search) response. ## OpenAPI ````yaml GET /blog/posts/{slug} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: NGN Market API version: '1.0' description: > The NGN Market API provides programmatic access to Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) market data, including equities, forex rates, company profiles, indices, bonds, and financial news. ## Base URL All endpoints are served from: ``` https://api.ngnmarket.com/v1 ``` ## Authentication Every request requires a Bearer token in the `Authorization` header: ``` Authorization: Bearer ngm_live_YOUR_KEY ``` Generate and manage your API keys from the [developer dashboard](https://ngnmarket.com/developer). ## Plans & Quotas | Plan | Monthly Calls | Requests/min | Price | | :--- | ---: | ---: | :--- | | Free | 3,000 | 30 | Free | | Hobby | 10,000 | 60 | ₦15,000/mo | | Starter | 100,000 | 120 | ₦50,000/mo | | Growth | 500,000 | 200 | ₦200,000/mo | | Business | 2,000,000 | 300 | ₦700,000/mo | | Enterprise | Unlimited | Unlimited | Custom | Every response includes a `meta` object showing your current usage and remaining quota.
