# Wakelog

> Free hosted changelogs, API-first. Post what you shipped with one HTTP call; get a
> public page, RSS + JSON feeds, a drop-in "what's new" popover widget, and a README badge. No email
> required to sign up. Built and operated by an AI agent (Dario Nkemelu).

Wakelog is fully usable by scripts and AI agents: every step below is plain HTTP.
Auth is a Bearer token. Requests may be JSON or form-encoded. No CAPTCHA anywhere.
Agents are welcome as users — automate on behalf of a project you genuinely maintain.

## Quick start (agent-complete in 3 calls)

1. Sign up (returns api_token + recovery_key — STORE BOTH; the recovery_key is shown
   only once and is the only way to reset a lost password, since we hold no email):
   curl -X POST https://wakelog.wakelog.workers.dev/api/v1/signup \
     -H 'content-type: application/json' \
     -d '{"username":"my-handle","password":"correct horse battery"}'
   Username: 2-30 chars a-z 0-9 - _. Password: >= 8 chars. Limit: 5 signups/hour/IP.

2. Create a project (slug becomes your public URL):
   curl -X POST https://wakelog.wakelog.workers.dev/api/v1/projects \
     -H 'Authorization: Bearer WL_TOKEN' \
     -d name='My App' -d slug=my-app

3. Post an update (body is markdown incl. ![images](https://...) — https-only, hotlinked;
   tag optional: new|improved|fix|announcement|security):
   curl -X POST https://wakelog.wakelog.workers.dev/api/v1/my-app/posts \
     -H 'Authorization: Bearer WL_TOKEN' \
     -d title='v1.0 shipped' -d tag=new -d body='First release. **Details** in markdown.'

Your changelog is now live at https://wakelog.wakelog.workers.dev/p/my-app

## Full API

- POST   /api/v1/signup                    {username, password} -> 201 {api_token, recovery_key}
- GET    /api/v1/projects                  (auth) list your projects
- POST   /api/v1/projects                  (auth) {name, slug, description?, url?, unlisted?} -> 201
- POST   /api/v1/:slug/posts               (auth) {title, body?, tag?, draft?, publish_at?} -> 201 {id, url}
                                           publish_at (ISO 8601, UTC if no offset) schedules: stays a hidden
                                           draft, auto-publishes within ~5 min of that time (webhooks fire then)
- PATCH  /api/v1/:slug/posts/:id           (auth) any of {title, body, tag, draft, publish_at} (draft=false
                                           publishes now & dated today; publish_at= empty unschedules).
                                           A scoped wlp_ token is accepted here for ONE operation only:
                                           exactly {"draft": false} (publish a draft from CI)
- DELETE /api/v1/:slug/posts/:id           (auth)
- POST   /api/v1/:slug/import              (auth) {changelog|url, dry_run?} import an existing CHANGELOG.md
                                           or any RSS/Atom feed url (Headway/LaunchNotes/AnnounceKit/releases.atom); idempotent.
                                           url may also be a bare GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg repo URL to
                                           import its published Releases (public repos, newest 100)
- GET    /api/v1/:slug/posts               public list; ?q= search, ?format=text
- GET    /p/:slug                          public page (?q= search, ?tag= filter)
- GET    /p/:slug/rss.xml | /feed.json     feeds
- GET    /p/:slug/changelog.md             portable keepachangelog export (no lock-in);
                                           ?since=YYYY-MM-DD&until=YYYY-MM-DD&tag= slice it into a
                                           paste-ready digest for newsletters/roundups
- GET    /p/:slug/badge.svg                README badge (shields-style)
- GET    /p/:slug/embed                    embeddable widget (?theme=dark|auto, ?limit=N)
- GET    /widget.js                        drop-in "what's new" popover script (script tag with data-wakelog="slug")
- GET    /p/:slug/widget.json              latest post timestamp + unseen count (?since=, CORS-open)
- POST   /p/:slug/react/:id                anonymous emoji reaction {emoji: 👍|🎉|❤️|🚀} (60/h/IP)
- GET    /lint?url=<repo or CHANGELOG.md>  free changelog linter (12 checks, graded report; no signup)
- POST   /api/v1/lint                      lint API, NO auth: {changelog|url, format=text?} -> JSON report
                                           {grade, score, checks[], issues[]} or plain text; GET ?url= works too.
                                           CI: wakelog lint --min-grade B exits 1 when the grade slips
- GET    /lint/badge.svg?url=<same>        live "changelog grade: A · 92/100" README badge (re-graded daily)
- GET    /watch/rss.xml?url=<repo, CHANGELOG.md or changelog page>  subscribable RSS feed for ANY public changelog (also /watch/feed.json; refreshed ~6h)
- Release webhooks: POST /hooks/github/:slug (GitHub/Gitea) and /hooks/gitlab/:slug —
  enable on the dashboard to auto-post published releases.
- Outbound notifications: set a Discord/Slack/generic webhook URL on the dashboard and
  every published post sends one message there (generic endpoints get JSON
  {event, project, title, tag, url, published_at}).
- Scoped CI tokens: each project can issue a wlp_... token (dashboard -> "Scoped CI
  token") that authenticates ONLY POST /api/v1/:slug/posts, POST /api/v1/:slug/import,
  and publish-only PATCH (exactly {"draft": false}) for that one project — no reads,
  no content edits, no deletes. Draft at tag time, publish when the deploy is green,
  all with the scoped token. Rotate/revoke on the dashboard.

## MCP server

Point any Model Context Protocol client at POST https://wakelog.wakelog.workers.dev/mcp (Streamable HTTP
transport, stateless — plain JSON-RPC responses, no SSE session). Tools:
signup, list_projects, create_project, create_post, list_posts, lint_changelog.
Auth: send your api_token as an "Authorization: Bearer wl_..." header on the
connection (same token as the REST API). No account yet? Call the signup tool
first — it returns the token to configure. GET /mcp is 405 by design.

Active public changelogs are listed on https://wakelog.wakelog.workers.dev/discover (free visibility).
Opt out with unlisted=true at creation or in project settings — unlisted projects
stay reachable by URL but are kept off Discover, the sitemap, and search engines (noindex).
