TLDR: How to get latest HAproxy release version using curl? Without web scraping.

I have my own opinionated and minimalistic Ansible collection to install dozens of various “devops” tools and services. [GitHub - den-is/ansible-collection-tools: Minimalistic ansible collection to deploy 70+ common devops tools · GitHub](https://github.com/den-is/ansible-collection-tools)

I have to constantly update versions with help of a simple bash script and automation. 99% of cases are solved except for HAProxy.

Examples for other products:

- Golang
  - 

```bash
curl -s "https://go.dev/dl/?mode=json" | jq -r '.[0].version'

```

- Hashicorp products
  - 

```bash
curl -s 'https://api.releases.hashicorp.com/v1/releases/terraform/latest' | jq -r '.version'

```

- Kubernetes
  - 

```bash
curl -Ls 'https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt'

```

- Github releases
  - 

```bash
curl -s 'https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/latest' | jq -r '.tag_name'

```

- Helm
  - 

```bash
curl -s "https://get.helm.sh/helm4-latest-version"

```

So … It would be really nice to have some URL to fetch the latest, Stable or LTS, version of Haproxy using a simple `curl` request. Maybe there already is such a thing, I was not able to find. Without “hacks” such as [haproxy.org](http://haproxy.org) page src parsing, etc. I think the above examples are very clear.

You can find json files on the webserve for specific release trains:

`https://www.haproxy.org/download/3.4/src/releases.json`

You may also just use the external service endoflife.date :

`https://endoflife.date/haproxy`

Using their API you can use the one liner:

```
curl -s "https://endoflife.date/api/v1/products/haproxy/releases/latest" | \
jq '.["result"]["latest"]["name"]'

```

Did not get notification on this great reply. First of all, thanks!

I prefer to use native source of data, before relying on external services. Did not know about `releases.json` - this is great! It would be nice to also have a top level json too, but this is just my thoughts aloud. 🙂
