Retrieving the raw content

If for some reason you would like to retrieve the raw content of a release you can use to_raw_dict instead.

import keepachangelog

changes = keepachangelog.to_raw_dict("path/to/CHANGELOG.md")

changes would look like:

changes = {
    "1.1.0": {
        "raw": """### Changed
- Enhancement 1 (1.1.0)
 - sub enhancement 1
 - sub enhancement 2
- Enhancement 2 (1.1.0)""",

            "buildmetadata": None,
        },
        "url": "https://github.test_url/test_project/compare/v1.0.1...v1.1.0",

    },
}

Release

You can create a new release by using keepachangelog.release function.

import keepachangelog

new_version = keepachangelog.release("path/to/CHANGELOG.md")

This will:

• If new_version parameter is not provided, guess the new version number and return it:
  • Removed or Changed sections will be considered as breaking changes, thus incrementing the major version.
  • If the only section is Fixed, only patch will be incremented.
  • Otherwise, minor will be incremented.
• Update changelog.
  • Unreleased section content will be moved into a new section.
  • [Unreleased] link will be updated.
  • New link will be created corresponding to the new section (based on the format of the Unreleased link).

Endpoint

Starlette

An helper function is available to create a starlette endpoint to retrieve changelog as JSON.

from starlette.applications import Starlette
from keepachangelog.starlette import add_changelog_endpoint


app = Starlette()
# /changelog endpoint will return the dict extracted from the changelog as JSON.
add_changelog_endpoint(app, "path/to/CHANGELOG.md")

Note: starlette module must be installed.

Flask-RestX

An helper function is available to create a Flask-RestX endpoint to retrieve changelog as JSON.

import flask
import flask_restx
from keepachangelog.flask_restx import add_changelog_endpoint


app = flask.Flask(__name__)
api = flask_restx.Api(app)
# /changelog endpoint will return the dict extracted from the changelog as JSON.
add_changelog_endpoint(api, "path/to/CHANGELOG.md")

Note: flask-restx module must be installed.
