At the heart of every post is a Lexical field, containing a standardised JSON-based representation of your content, which can be rendered in multiple formats. ```js theme={"dark"} GET /admin/posts/ GET /admin/posts/{id}/ GET /admin/posts/slug/{slug}/ POST /admin/posts/ PUT /admin/posts/{id}/ DELETE /admin/posts/{id}/ ``` ### The post object Whenever you fetch, create, or edit a post, the API will respond with an array of one or more post objects. These objects will include all related tags, authors, and author roles. By default, the API expects and returns content in the **Lexical** format only. To include **HTML** in the response use the `formats` parameter: ```json theme={"dark"} // GET /admin/posts/?formats=html,lexical { "posts": [ { "slug": "welcome-short", "id": "5ddc9141c35e7700383b2937", "uuid": "a5aa9bd8-ea31-415c-b452-3040dae1e730", "title": "Welcome", "lexical": "{\"root\":{\"children\":[{\"children\":[{\"detail\":0,\"format\":0,\"mode\":\"normal\",\"style\":\"\",\"text\":\"Hello, beautiful world! 👋\",\"type\":\"extended-text\",\"version\":1}],\"direction\":\"ltr\",\"format\":\"\",\"indent\":0,\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"version\":1}],\"direction\":\"ltr\",\"format\":\"\",\"indent\":0,\"type\":\"root\",\"version\":1}}", "html": "

Some defaults are different between the two APIs, however the behaviour and availability of the parameters remains the same.
