This guide shows you how to use the VersionHistory web service API.
Overview
The VersionHistory API provides programmatic access to Google Chrome and Fuchsia Web Engine version history information. It is a REST API that returns information as JSON.
All API access is over HTTPS, and accessed from https://versionhistory.googleapis.com/v1.
Get all platforms
Chrome is supported on many different platforms, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. To view all of the platforms that VersionHistory has information about:
GET https://versionhistory.googleapis.com/v1/chrome/platforms/
Example response

Get all valid platform/channel combinations
Chrome provides multiple channels on many of the platforms that it supports. To view all valid platform/channel combinations:
GET https://versionhistory.googleapis.com/v1/chrome/platforms/all/channels
Example response

}
Get all valid channels for a particular platform
The previous examples used the all parameter to instruct VersionHistory to
retrieve information about all platforms. To focus on a particular platform,
replace all with a particular platform identifier (such as win):
GET https://versionhistory.googleapis.com/v1/chrome/platforms/win/channels
Example response
{
"channels": [
{
"name": "chrome/platforms/win/channels/extended",
"channelType": "EXTENDED"
},
{
"name": "chrome/platforms/win/channels/stable",
"channelType": "STABLE"
},
{
"name": "chrome/platforms/win/channels/beta",
"channelType": "BETA"
},
{
"name": "chrome/platforms/win/channels/dev",
"channelType": "DEV"
},
{
"name": "chrome/platforms/win/channels/canary",
"channelType": "CANARY"
},
{
"name": "chrome/platforms/win/channels/canary_asan",
"channelType": "CANARY_ASAN"
}
]
}
Get version information for a particular platform/channel combination
A version represents the specific instance of Chrome that users are running. To retrieve version information for a particular combination of platform/channel, send a GET request like this:
GET https://versionhistory.googleapis.com/v1/chrome/platforms/win/channels/stable/versions
This request retrieves all versions of Google Chrome Stable that ran on Windows.
