Ghost Explore Creator Search

Ghost's Explore page is the discovery engine for independent publishers and newsletter creators built on the Ghost platform. It lists publications across topics, making it a starting point for finding newsletters to subscribe to, creators to collaborate with, or competitors to track. But Ghost Explore does not export listings, and manually browsing through search results to compile a list of relevant publications is time-consuming.

What it extracts

• Position — The ranking position of the creator listing in search results.
• Title — The name of the Ghost publication.
• Description — The publication description from the Explore listing.
• Image URL — Direct link to the publication's logo or cover image.
• Website — Direct link to the publication's Ghost page.
• Category — The categories or topics associated with the publication.
• Number of Members — Available audience size or subscriber count.
• MRR — Monthly recurring revenue or monetization indicators.

What you can do with it

• Newsletter discovery at scale - search Ghost Explore for any topic and get a structured list of matching publications with author names and descriptions.
• Creator outreach lists built from Ghost's directory: publication names, descriptions, and profile links ready for partnership or collaboration pitches.
• Indie publishing landscape mapping by searching multiple topics and building a comprehensive database of Ghost-powered publications.
• Competitive monitoring for newsletter creators: see who else is publishing in your niche, how they describe their publication, and how their audience compares.
