API Usage

There are two ways to use the changelog as an API:

1. JSON View in UI

You can use the "View as JSON" button after generating a changelog to access the JSON API endpoint.

Example: https://changelog.pandadev.net/?url=https://github.com/owner/repo

2. REST API Endpoint

A dedicated REST API endpoint is available at /api/changelog that returns pure JSON with proper application/json content type.
