Automated download of RDM zip version for portable
Hello, i'm trying to create a (somewhat) simple script to download/fetch the latest version of RDM zip file to create a portable version on an as needed basis. I have automated the .NET portion and the folder structure. But finding the latest version of the .zip for portable installs from your site is challenging.
I was previously able to parse the URL and filename and SHA256 hash as well from your website.

Youve recently changed the download page and now the page is much different.
Can you create a simple JSON page much like Microsoft (GitHub?) does where i can pull the filename, Download URL and hash? Or do you currently already have that without having to Invoke-Webrequest the webpage and regex the content?
Thanks!
Example for DotNet
https://dotnetcli.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet/release-metadata/10.0/releases.json
PS. I understand if you dont want users automating downloads and bypassing your HTML pages, but this would be a nice nitch feature.

Hi,
You can use https://devolutions.net/productinfo.json - a nice JSON file with all the information you'd need, and it's easy to consume from a PowerShell script.

OMG! YES! Exactly what i was looking for! Thank you so much!
This took me about 30 seconds to get my answer.
$RDMJSON = (Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing https://devolutions.net/productinfo.json).content | ConvertFrom-Json
$RDMURL = ($RDMJSON.RDMWindows.Current.Files | where {$_.type -eq "zip"}).url
$RDMHash = ($RDMJSON.RDMWindows.Current.Files | where {$_.type -eq "zip"}).hash
