Feature Request: Unauthenticated API Endpoint for Current App Version #718

Hello all,

First of all, thank you for your work on Huntarr — it’s an amazing addition to the *arr ecosystem!

I’d like to request the addition of a small unauthenticated API endpoint (e.g., /api/version or similar) that returns the currently running app version in JSON format.

Background

  • I am using Argus to monitor and track version updates of my self-hosted services.
  • Currently, I have to update Huntarr’s version in Argus manually.
  • I noticed that the frontend requests /version.txt to get version info, but there is no accessible (and consistent) unauthenticated JSON endpoint for this.

Request

  • Please add an open (unauthenticated) HTTP endpoint that returns the current Huntarr version as a minimal JSON object, for example: { "version": "8.2.10" }
  • This will allow external services (like Argus) to programmatically check for updates, without requiring manual intervention or authentication.

Benefits

  • Makes Huntarr easier to integrate with self-hosted monitoring/setup tools (like Argus, Watchtower, etc.).
  • Provides a standardized way for users and automation scripts to verify the deployed version.

Thank you for your consideration!

Best regards
