  Cledara publishes a dated, tagged product announcements board covering the whole platform.
  It is a real changelog and it is where the API launch was announced, but it is not an API
  changelog — there is no per-release record of endpoint, schema or behaviour changes, and no
  RSS/Atom feed for it. Entries below are the recent window as rendered on 2026-09-05, most
  recent first.
current_version: v0 (API path prefix; the announcements board itself is unversioned)

    title: The Cledara API is live
    tags: [New Feature, Announcement]
    breaking: false
    additions:
      - 'Public REST API launched with three read-only endpoints: applications, transactions, and transaction invoice URLs.'
      - API keys self-served from Settings → Profile Details → API Keys.
      - Included on every plan at no extra cost.
    highlights: >-
      Positioned explicitly for agents as well as developers — "your dashboard, your accounting
      system, or your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, or your agent of choice)" and "you do not
      need a developer. Your AI coding agent reads the docs, takes an API key, and builds the
      integration for you."
