from aioghost import GhostAdminAPI

async def main():

        api = GhostAdminAPI(
            api_url="https://your-site.ghost.io",
            admin_api_key="your-key",
            session=session,
        )
        site = await api.get_site()
        # Session is NOT closed when api goes out of scope
