GitHub releases: latest versions

$0.002 per call · failed calls are never charged · no account or subscription: pay per call with a card key or USDC

GitHub releases of a repository, newest first: tag, name, publish date, pre-release flag, link and the first 1,500 characters of the release notes, for the last 1-10 releases. Give owner/name or a github.com URL; public repositories only. Use to check the latest version of a tool, read what changed before upgrading a dependency or watch a project for new releases.

Try it with your own inputs

Repository as owner/name, e.g. vercel/next.js, or its github.com URL

Uses one of your 25 free calls. Nothing is charged, and a call that fails is not counted.

Request

Over HTTP, with a card key from /credits:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_…" "https://tools.funwords.eu/github/releases?repo=cloudflare%2Fworkers-sdk"

Or one of your 25 free calls, no key:

curl "https://tools.funwords.eu/github/releases?repo=cloudflare%2Fworkers-sdk&trial=1"

Without a key, the same URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms, so an agent with a wallet pays per call in USDC (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum or Solana over x402; Base or Tempo over MPP) and retries.
