+## Generate changelog data
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/345934) in GitLab 14.6.
+
+Generate changelog data based on commits in a repository, without committing
+them to a changelog file.
+
+Works exactly like `POST /projects/:id/repository/changelog`, except the changelog
+data isn't committed to any changelog file.
+
+```plaintext
+GET /projects/:id/repository/changelog
+```
+
+Supported attributes:
+
+| Attribute | Type     | Required   | Description |
+| :-------- | :------- | :--------- | :---------- |
+| `version` | string   | yes | The version to generate the changelog for. The format must follow [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/). |
+| `from`    | string   | no | The start of the range of commits (as a SHA) to use for generating the changelog. This commit itself isn't included in the list. |
+| `to`      | string   | no | The end of the range of commits (as a SHA) to use for the changelog. This commit _is_ included in the list. Defaults to the branch specified in the `branch` attribute. |
+| `date`    | datetime | no | The date and time of the release, ISO 8601 formatted. Example: `2016-03-11T03:45:40Z`. Defaults to the current time. |
+| `trailer` | string   | no | The Git trailer to use for including commits, defaults to `Changelog`. |
