API feature request for size restricted game jams

Hi!  I'm researching using itch.io for the js13k games competition (https://js13kgames.com/).  itch.io would be a great place to host that competition.  The only limitation is the ability to verify the size of the ZIP.

There are many different ways that could be achieved.  For example:

  1. Add custom "max file size" as a Jam option
  2. API endpoint to retrieve ZIP file size
  3. API endpoint to retrieve ZIP download link for automated verification

Are any of those possible today?  If not, could any of those be added?

The next js13k competition begins August 13.  The js13k team is the same team behind Gamedev.js: https://itch.io/jam/gamedevjs-2024
