# About the Posts and Stats API

The Posts and Stats API allows you to retrieve and manage blog posts. A post is a published article written for a blog.

With the Posts and Stats API, you can:

- Retrieve and display [a post](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/blog/posts-stats/get-post) or [a list of posts](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/blog/posts-stats/list-posts).
- [Query posts](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/blog/posts-stats/query-posts) based on specific filters.
- [Retrieve the metrics](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/blog/posts-stats/get-post-metrics) of a post to analyze engagement and performance.

You can use [Pricing Plans](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/pricing-plans/pricing-plans/introduction) to limit access to exclusive blog content by subscription.

- **Blog writers** can create and publish their own posts on a blog.
- **Guest writers** can create posts, but can't publish them.
