How to programatically fetch the latest versions

balupton · April 2022

Would be great if https://app-updates.agilebits.com/ was available in JSON format

1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided

Have you checked out the op update command? It can be used to download the latest update, if availalble.

Also, what OS(es) are you running? For Mac and Linux, we do host our client on some repos as well.

To run op update I'd need to install the 1password cli first. Whereas the need is to fetch the latest version to install.

I maintain the Dorothy dotfile ecosystem which includes cross-platform installers for plenty of utilities, for the 1password cli it is here:

https://github.com/bevry/dorothy/blob/master/commands/setup-util-1password-cli

Which I'm currently using this workaround for fetching the latest CLI version:

https://github.com/bevry/dorothy/blob/master/commands/setup-util-1password-cli#L40

Dorothy also includes the secret utility which I posted about earlier here:

Ahh, thanks for clarifying your usecase @balupton ,

I think I have just the endpoint for you - supply the current build number and whether or not you are interested in betas or not and the response will return a JSON response containing the latest version to update to.

Here is the GET endpoint: https://app-updates.agilebits.com/check/1/0/CLI2/en/{BUILD_NUMBER}/{Y or N for beta}

Our build number is in the format of: Mmmppbb so v2.0.0-01 would be represented by 2000001.

So to get the latest stable v2.x.x version number, one could call the endpoint using 2.0.0-0-1, the earliest v2 version:

https://app-updates.agilebits.com/check/1/0/CLI2/en/2000001/N

The response should look something like:

{"available":"1","version":"2.1.0","relnotes":"https://app-updates.agilebits.com/relnotes/CLI2/en/2/2010001"}

You can then parse the "version" value and interpolate it into our download links, that can be platform dependent, which you can see at https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/CLI2

Hope this helps!

This is really nice.

Anyone willing to write a script that generates an RSS feed based on this?

(I have an idea how to do this, but don't have the time right now)

Are there similar endpoints for the other 1Password products?

If so, what are they? (Which strings instead of CLI?)

This one worked for the Windows client:

https://app-updates.agilebits.com/check/1/0/OPW6/en/821/Y

You can see the build numbers here: https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/OPW6

It's funny we refer to it as OPW6 but I believe that is a misnomer as the official latest releases are OPW7 as you can see when navigating to the site.

Funnily enough it did not work for the Mac Client following similar logic:

https://app-updates.agilebits.com/check/1/0/OPM7/en/70903003/Y

For some other clients, and even the server, you can check out this site: https://app-updates.agilebits.com/
