I recently found an action hook that will show the $download_url. This is how I use it in GitHub Updater.

I don't quite follow the difference about what you are doing and how AWS is involved.

What my code is doing:

  1. Making an API request to /repos/:owner/:repo/releases/latest e.g. https://api.github.com/repos/rarst/laps/releases/latest
  2. Looking up first asset in it (I only have one usually) and browser_download_url in it, e.g. https://github.com/Rarst/laps/releases/download/2.0/laps-2.0.zip, which is where I want to send client.

Could you please elaborate what do you think could be simplified here?

The URL that leads to for the zipfile is https://github-production-release-asset-2e65be.s3.amazonaws.com/19918104/36284318-1ae2-11e8-8cab-c6bf9500cf02?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIWNJYAX4CSVEH53A%2F20181111%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20181111T060155Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=1801293b227f02238cab73c5c839c473f33d48855e963fc85e290246c9e50644&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=1296790&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%3Dlaps-2.0.zip&response-content-type=application%2Foctet-stream

I was using that for updating from release assets but because of the X-Amz-Expires=300 I can only store it for 5 minutes(300 seconds).

If you only need to send a client the release asset URL and have them download from the browser you’re OK. I was downloading the zipfile in WP core for updating and needed the AWS link.

My mistake in thinking we were doing the same thing.
