Maybe it would be easier to use a third-party, dedicated service specialized
in retrieving versions of software. See
<https://release-monitoring.org/project/381/> for data about cURL. It has
a web API:

$ curl https://release-monitoring.org/api/v2/versions/?project_id=381
{"latest_version":"7.86.0","stable_versions":["7.86.0","7.85.0","7.84.0","7.83.1","7.83.0","7.82.0","7.81.0","7.80.0","7.79.1","7.79.0","7.78.0"],"versions":["7.86.0","7.85.0","7.84.0","7.83.1","7.83.0","7.82.0","7.81.0","7.80.0","7.79.1","7.79.0","7.78.0"]}

and a notification RabbitMQ interface
