Web API

lastversion public API

You don't need to use lastversion as a command line tool or install it as a package to use it. You can use the public web API at lastversion-api.getpagespeed.com.

Usage

Make a GET request to https://lastversion-api.getpagespeed.com/<github-repo> to get the latest version of the repository in JSON format.

To get only the version number, append ?version to the URL.

Examples:

• https://lastversion-api.getpagespeed.com/dvershinin/lastversion
• https://lastversion-api.getpagespeed.com/dvershinin/lastversion?version

Note that API caches results for 2 hours.

For faster updates of your own project, please set up a webhook for your GitHub repo that points to:

https://lastversion-api.getpagespeed.com/hooks/github
