 # Changelog

+## 2025-10-11 - 2.2.1 - fix(syncedinstance)
+Prevent same-instance syncs and sanitize post update payloads; update tests and docs
+
+- SyncedInstance now validates and normalizes source and target base URLs (trailing slashes and case) and throws a clear error when attempting to sync an instance to itself to prevent circular syncs.
+- Post.update signature changed to accept Partial<IPost>. Update logic now builds a sanitized payload and removes read-only/computed fields (uuid, comment_id, url, excerpt, reading_time, created_at, primary_author, primary_tag, etc.) before calling the Admin API to avoid conflicts.
+- Added/updated integration tests (dates, syncedinstance validation) and adjusted tag tests to be resilient; README expanded with examples, usage notes, and multi-instance sync safety details.
+- Improved tag sync/update to preserve slug when updating tags on targets.
+
 ## 2025-10-10 - 2.2.0 - feat(apiclient)
 Add native Admin & Content API clients, JWT generator, and tag visibility features; remove external @tryghost deps and update docs

 A modern, fully-typed API client for Ghost CMS that wraps both the Content and Admin APIs into an elegant, developer-friendly interface. Built with TypeScript, designed for humans.

+## ✨ What Makes This Different?
+
+Unlike the official Ghost SDK, this library gives you:
+
+- **One unified client** instead of juggling separate Content and Admin API instances
+- **Class-based models** with helper methods instead of raw JSON objects
+- **Built-in JWT generation** so you don't need to handle tokens manually
+- **Pattern matching** with minimatch for flexible filtering
+- **Multi-instance sync** for managing content across staging/production environments
+- **Complete tag support** including tags with zero posts (Content API limitation bypassed)

 The `SyncedInstance` class enables you to synchronize content across multiple Ghost instances - perfect for staging environments, multi-region deployments, or content distribution.

+**Key Features:**
+- 🔒 **Same-Instance Protection** - Automatically prevents circular syncs that would cause excessive API calls
+- 🏷️ **Slug Congruence** - Ensures slugs remain consistent across all synced instances
+- 🗺️ **ID Mapping** - Tracks source-to-target ID mappings for efficient updates
+- 📊 **Detailed Reporting** - Get comprehensive sync reports with success/failure counts

+## ⚡ Performance & Best Practices
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+Ghost enforces rate limits on API requests (~100 requests per IP per hour for Admin API). Keep these tips in mind:
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Good: Batch operations
+await ghost.bulkUpdatePosts(['id1', 'id2', 'id3'], { featured: true });
+
+// ❌ Bad: Individual requests in a loop
+for (const id of postIds) {
+  await ghost.getPostById(id).then(p => p.update({ featured: true }));
+}
+
+// ✅ Good: Use pagination efficiently
+const posts = await ghost.getPosts({ limit: 15 });
+
+// ✅ Good: Filter on the server side
+const featuredPosts = await ghost.getPosts({ featured: true, limit: 10 });
+```
+
+### Multi-Instance Sync Safety
+
+The library automatically prevents common pitfalls:
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ This works - different instances
+const synced = new SyncedInstance(sourceGhost, [targetGhost]);
+
+// ❌ This throws an error - prevents circular sync!
+const synced = new SyncedInstance(ghost, [ghost]); // Error: Cannot sync to same instance
+```
+
+### Content API vs Admin API
+
+- **Content API**: Read-only, public content, no authentication required (with Content API key)
+- **Admin API**: Full read/write access, requires Admin API key
+- **Tags**: This library uses Admin API for tags to fetch ALL tags (Content API only returns tags with posts)
+
+### Dry Run Mode
+
+Test your sync operations without making changes:
+
+```typescript
+const report = await synced.syncAll({
+  types: ['posts', 'pages', 'tags'],
+  syncOptions: {
+    dryRun: true  // Preview changes without applying them
+  }
+});
+
+console.log(`Would sync ${report[0].totalItems} items`);
 ```

+### Date Handling

-This is an open-source project. Issues and pull requests are welcome!
+All date fields (`created_at`, `updated_at`, `published_at`) are returned as ISO 8601 formatted strings with timezone information:
+
+```typescript
+const post = await ghost.getPostById('post-id');
+
+// Date strings are in ISO 8601 format: "2025-10-10T13:54:44.000-04:00"
+console.log(post.postData.created_at);    // string
+console.log(post.postData.updated_at);    // string
+console.log(post.postData.published_at);  // string
+
+// Parse them to Date objects if needed
+const publishedDate = new Date(post.postData.published_at);
+console.log(publishedDate.toISOString());
+```
+
+**Note:** Ghost automatically manages `updated_at` timestamps. When you update metadata fields (title, status, tags, etc.), Ghost updates this timestamp. HTML-only updates may not always change `updated_at`.
