Obtain version string for Google Chrome stable release via curl

[Reid Bundonis]

Previously, with the omahaproxy, I could use curl to fetch the latest version:

curl -s https://omahaproxy.appspot.com/mac

This allowed easy setup for automated patch enforcement.  Get the latest version, query the device for the installed version, and then update if the installed version was out of date.

Now that omahaproxy is deprecated and no longer updating, is there an equivalent way to derive the stable version string from the new chromiumdash site?  curl'ing https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/releases?platform=Mac does not seem to provide the complete page source.  

And I cannot seem to find the equivalent of what omahaproxy provided.  Appreciate any assist or pointers.

I think this should help you -

https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/fetch_releases?channel=Stable&platform=Mac

(You can see check the network panel of the developer tools when going to the releases page on ChromiumDash to see the requests it makes, I got it from there)

Awesome!  Thank you very much.  I was working with https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/fetch_releases but did not know it supported the variable narrowing.  I've got it now.  Thank you very much for the URL.  Very helpful.
