使用GitHub的API可以很方便的获取开源项目的制品，可以帮助我们构建docker镜像，或者编写安装、更新软件的脚本。

获取最新的版本

使用GET访问https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/releases/latest

需要将链接中的OWNER 更换为项目的所有者，REPO 更换为项目仓库名

响应结果中tag_name 表示发布的版本号，browser_download_url 表示下载路径

以frp项目为例：

curl -L https://api.github.com/repos/fatedier/frp/releases/latest

响应结果如下：
