Overview
Changelogs.md aggregates and structures changelog data from popular open source projects hosted on GitHub, making it easy to fetch and display version history programmatically. The API is free to use with no authentication required. It is handy for building dependency-tracking tools or dashboards that show what changed across libraries your project uses.
Beginner Tip
No API key is needed. Query a project's changelog by its GitHub owner and repo name in the URL path. Note that only projects with a CHANGELOG.md or similar file in their GitHub repo will return results.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://changelogs.md/";
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
