# **DownloadInfo.psm1**
 
[](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/download-info.extension) [](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/DownloadInfo)
##### Author: Fabrice Sanga
## **`Get-DownloadInfo`**
Gets the information to update an application
### **Syntax**
```PowerShell
Get-DownloadInfo
[-Path]
[-From {Github | Omaha | SourceForge}]
Get-DownloadInfo
-PropertyList
[-From {Github | Omaha | SourceForge}]
```
### **Description**
The `Get-DownloadInfo` function retrieves from a server information relative to updating a specific application. The canonical information set consists of:
- `Version`: the latest version of the application
- `Link`: the URL to the setup resource.
This set can be augmented with additional elements depending on the server that hosts the application. Those elements may be the size of the resource or its checksum code.
The command takes two parameters: either `-Path` or `-PropertyList`, and `-From`.
The parameter `-From` is the server name to get the information from, and its values are either **Github**, **Omaha**, or **Sourceforge**. The parameter `-PropertyList` is a set of name-value arguments required to build the HTTP request to the server. `-Path` is the path to a file holding the properties list.
### **Examples**
#### **Example 1: Get update information from GitHub using a configuration file**
```PowerShell
PS > Get-Content .\test\hugo.toml
RepositoryId="gohugoio/hugo"
AssetPattern="hugo_extended_.*_Windows-64bit\.zip$"
PS > Get-DownloadInfo -Path .\test\hugo.toml -From Github | Format-List
Version : v0.99.1
Link : @{Url=https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.99.1/hugo_extended_0.99.1_Windows-64bit.zip; Size=18560918}
```
#### **Example 2: Get update information from Omaha using the inline hashtable**
```PowerShell
PS > $PropertyList = @{
UpdateServiceURL="https://update.googleapis.com/service/update2";
ApplicationID="{8A69D345-D564-463c-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}";
OwnerBrand="YTUH";
ApplicationSpec="x64-stable-statsdef_1"
}
