Cannot get browser_download_url via Github API?
Let's say, I'm looking at https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases :
I want to use the Github API to get the latest released zip - so I try to use the following, and it works:
$ curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest" | grep "browser_download_url" | grep zip
"browser_download_url": "https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/2.4/pandoc-2.4-macOS.zip"
"browser_download_url": "https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/2.4/pandoc-2.4-windows-i386.zip"
"browser_download_url": "https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/2.4/pandoc-2.4-windows-x86_64.zip"
$ curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest" | grep "zipball_url"
"zipball_url": "https://api.github.com/repos/jgm/pandoc/zipball/2.4",
There is zipball_url, but I don't want to use it, because it doesn't have a proper filename.
So far, so good. Now I want to do the same for the https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/releases repo :
Online, it looks sort of the same, doesn't it? There's "Assets", there's files that can be downloaded... But, if I try the same:
$ curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/hakimel/reveal.js/releases/latest" | grep "browser_download_url"
$
$ curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/hakimel/reveal.js/releases/latest" | grep "zipball_url"
"zipball_url": "https://api.github.com/repos/hakimel/reveal.js/zipball/3.7.0",
... turn's out, browser_download_url does not exist here?! Why? There is a https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/archive/3.7.0.zip on the Github page for this project?
Is this because the hakimel/reveal.js is a "Source code" .zip of a tagged Git source; and the jgm/pandoc has browser_download_url for those .zip that are "manually uploaded" (i.e. not derived automatically from the tagged version of the Git source)?
If so, can I get (and if so, how) the https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/archive/3.7.0.zip link (or whatever is the latest official zip version) from the Github API directly, without having to perform regex acrobatics based on latest tag releases to find the actual .zip filename?
Edit: note that here, 3.7.0.zip is not the final filename that you get if you click it in a browser - the final filename ends up being reveal.js-3.7.0.zip!
