This release introduces MELODY's first official public API, providing a lightweight way to generate data‑story outputs outside the dashboard. The API supports simple text responses and complex multi‑block configurations, and can return HTML, JSON, or plain text depending on the integration needs. It also allows optional custom styles and scripts for embedding in external applications. See API documentation in the README. Development history is tracked in issue #97.
