The ReleasePad widget shows all your published changelog posts by default. If you only want certain categories to appear — for example, API updates on your developer docs — you can filter them with the categories-ids attribute.

How it works

Add categories-ids to your rp-token div with a comma-separated list of category IDs:

<div id="rp-token"
     data-param="YOUR_TOKEN"
     lang="en"
     categories-ids="12,45">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript"
        src="https://widget.releasepad.io/releasepad-bundle.js"
        charset="utf-8">
</script>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://widget.releasepad.io/releasepad-bundle.min.css">

Only posts from those categories will show up in the widget.

Finding your category IDs

Go to your ReleasePad dashboard and open Categories. Each category has a numeric ID visible in the URL when you edit it.

Use cases

Developer docs site — show only API and integration updates:

<div id="rp-token"
     data-param="YOUR_TOKEN"
     lang="en"
     categories-ids="3,7">
</div>

In-app widget — show only UI and feature updates:

<div id="rp-token"
     data-param="YOUR_TOKEN"
     lang="en"
     categories-ids="1,2">
</div>

Single category — show only bug fixes:

<div id="rp-token"
     data-param="YOUR_TOKEN"
     lang="en"
     categories-ids="5">
</div>

This lets you embed the widget in multiple places across your product, each showing only the updates that matter to that audience.
