For developers and webmasters

If you want to display latest version on your site, you can use our JSON file to display data you need. To save our transfer it's reccomended that you also create a cronjob task, which is downloading that file for example every 30 minutes to your server, and you use that cached file to display info. It will also make your website work faster.

If you got questions, OR USED THIS API please contact me at: gny[antispam]sek (at) gmail (dot) com
