URL for Current Release

paulparisi

Do you have a publicly queryable URL where I can get the current release version of pfSense and pfSense +?

I am building a monitoring system and I want to compare my version with the current version?

Thanks,
Paul.

There's no easy to scrape single file I'm aware of for this. There is this:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/versions.html

Otherwise you might be able to check the update repos directly.

@stephenw10 What is the code on the dashboard version checker doing?

This: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/master/src/usr/local/www/widgets/widgets/system_information.widget.php#L63

But that calls get_system_pkg_version which runs pfsense-upgrade.

You could probably do something similar off the firewall if you have something that knows about FreeBSD pkg-ng.
