API for checking for plugin updates?Solved

Posted 6 years ago

Hello there,

I was wondering if you have an API to check if a newer version of a plugin is available? I'm the developer of rustadmin and apparently the users would like to have an automatic version checker but I don't want to go with the crapy "solution" of parsing the plugin's webpage if there is another possibility.

Stay safe and have a good day!

The Oxide plugin info can be accessed via a .json page: https://umod.org/plugins/search.json?query=vanish&page=1&sort=title&sortdir=asc&filter=&categories%5B%5D=rust&author=

Not officially an API, so no guarantees on usability at this point.

Individual plugins can be accessed via https://umod.org/plugins/vanish.json for example.

Hum actually I thought it would make it but after a few test I receive an http code 429 for too many requests. The thing is I have to make one request per plugin and servers sometimes have a lot of them.

Non-authenticated users have a very low rate limit at the moment.
