How can I automate downloading the SHA256 file for Telegraf?
Asked by

Hey there! I'm trying to fully automate the update process for our Telegraf service on a Windows server. The challenge I'm facing is that the SHA256 file is hidden behind a JavaScript button, which makes it tricky to grab programmatically. Has anyone found a way to automate the download and verification of the latest SHA file for Telegraf? I've got most of it set up, but this JS component is really slowing me down.

You could also use the GitHub API to retrieve Telegraf’s SHA256 directly. If that's not an option, Puppeteer is another tool that can manage the JS button for you.

You might want to try using Selenium for this; it's great for handling web pages with dynamic content.
