Version Checking with Curse

[TLHPoE]

Is there anyway to retrieve all downloads of a mod on the curseforge website? Specifically for detecting if the instance of the mod is outdated? Or should I just stay with manually setting the latest version in a text file?

Bad modder, no cookie.

Look here.  But if you are looking for a general version check to notify the player of a new version I would suggest you use the Forge API as Draco indicates above.

I'm aware of this but I'm asking about using the curse mod page to automatically generate a list of versions rather than creating one myself.

Have a look at Curse's API. The third thing on the page OreCruncher linked is literally the thing you want.

What may be confusing to you is that this isn't a standard Java style API - it's a REST style API.
