So I'd love to add a version check to my game: That is an API call that allows me to check the version number in a channel and compare that to the version in the current build. Then I can alert people that don't use the itch.io app to update the game.
I've been looking at the API and had some troubles with the GET query parameters plus it seems there's no version information available.
Anyone ever solved this?
wait, there's a latest endpoint? Did I miss that in the API documentation?
(Just to be sure, I was looking at this: https://itch.io/docs/api/serverside)
What I did was set this up in unity zto try to get the game info to see if I could check for the channel version there. I could get the games for my account (parameterless) but not the purchases since that requires a parameter
I have no experience with GET requests so i was trying to add the parameter with ?name=value but that did not go through. Not sure why though. My current guess is that there needs to be some escaping done on the string?
I'm pretty sure it's because I don't know what i'm doing :)
Looks like it's undocumented, you can use it to fetch the latest user version on a build uploaded by butler.
Here's an example:
https://itch.io/api/1/x/wharf/latest?target=doborog/clonedroneinthedangerzone&ch...
Regarding the other error you're having, sounds like a encoding issue with the API you're using in Unity. Verify that the function doesn't take query parameters as separate object. Maybe the `?` is optional if query params are handled separately
I just found where it is documented, on butler's usage page: https://itch.io/docs/butler/pushing.html#looking-for-updates
