URL to get latest versions of ROS branches

RouterOS General
1

I need to know which versions of each ROS branche is the latest, as I adding up monitoring scripts. The only way I know to find out versions is RSS feed i can parse for the info.

But then, when I check for ROS updates within ROS, it can easily find out which version is the latest, so it looks like there should be some HTTP-request that can answer this question.

So my question is, how can I know the latest version for bugfix and current branches in some easy to parse request?

Thank you!

Hi Normis,

by any chance are there an URL I can use to monitor Winbox updates as well? Nice to have a reminder on that, just in a case! )

Please!

Sorry for dredging up an old post but I wanted to share the new URL’s as the previous URL’s mentioned by @normis have stopped being updated. I was about to post a new post but then worked out the new URL’s.

# curl https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/LATEST.6
6.46.5 1586248107

# curl https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/LATEST.6rc
6.47beta54 1586154743

# curl https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/LATEST.6fix
6.45.8 1579763985

Hope this helps someone else.

Or to get just the version, awk works:
