Rick Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Is there any API I can use to check a games page download file and then download it? I like the games page and I'm thinking about creating a little launcher app for my game that would check the games page for my game to see what version the download link is and if newer than what is locally installed download it and unzip it for the user so they don't have to come here to see if there is an update and manually download. I can parse the HTML if I have to but would prefer not to do that as it's error prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Yes there is. You probably need a private key or something to access it, but there is a REST API available underlying the whole forum system: https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=downloads/files/GETindex Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Rick Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 So the Games section is part of the forum system? I don't see what kind of section that would be on the left side here: https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=downloads/files/GETindex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I don't really have much idea how it works. It looks similar to the Steam Web API.
