https://api.keyman.com/package-version

Endpoint for getting keyboard and lexical model versions. The results will contain latest versions and links to the .kmp or .model.kmp packages. This endpoint is used by Keyman applications to query for newer versions of installed packages.

GET https://api.keyman.com/package-version?keyboard=<id>&model=<id>&platform=<platform>

Parameters

• keyboard: packaged keyboards to query
  • <id>: package ID for the first keyboard package. This is not necessarily the same as the keyboard ID (e.g. a package can contain multiple keyboards)
  • This parameter can be repeated, and/or multiple ids can be separated by commas
  • This parameter is optional.
• model: packaged lexical models to query
  • <id>: lexical model ID for the first lexical model package (this is same as package ID, minus the .model pre-extension)
  • This parameter can be repeated, and/or multiple ids can be separated by commas
  • This parameter is optional.
• platform: which platform must be supported for updates
  • <platform>: one of android, ios, linux, mac, windows (web does not currently support packages)
  • This stops the API returning packages that are invalid for the target platform.
  • This parameter is optional. If not supplied, does not filter by platform support.

Returns

• JSON blob or HTTP/400 on invalid parameters

The valid blob will contain latest version and url for the packages for each keyboards/lexical models.
