How can I get the version of Concourse or the fly CLI via the API

I am downloading the fly Concourse CLI via the web interface or via the API endpoint: /api/v1/cli?arch=amd64&platform=darwin.

Is there a way to get via a similar API endpoint the version of Concourse or of the fly CLI?

I am using this in order to compare the existing fly CLI that the user has and the one he can download (suggesting him/her an update in case there is a newer version).

Solution

  • /api/v1/info should tell you the version of Concourse (which goes in lockstep with the version of the fly CLI).

    Note that the fly cli will warn you if you are using a version of the CLI that's out of sync with the version of Concourse you are targetting.
