API

/db

GET request to download the sqlite database. The database stores version information and a daily hit counter (requests to /update per day). This is publicly accessibly by design, for transparency.

/update

POST request to check for updates.

The body of the request must be a JSON like

{'version':'[version number]', 'platform':'[platform]'}

The response will be a JSON like

{'status':200, 'reason':'Ok', 'url':'[url to download latest version]', 'out-of-date':true/false}

The status and reason may be different, and url and out-of-date may not be included if the request is invalid or an error occurs.

/release

POST request to create/update a new release. This is password-protected to prevent users from adding malicious code into releases.

The body of the request must be a JSON like

{'token':'[server password]', 'version':'[version number]', 'platform':'[platform]', 'url':'[url to download version]'}

The response will be a JSON like

{'status':200, 'reason':'Version created successfully'}

The status and reason may be different, especially if the request is invalid or an error occurs.
