Programmatically get download link for an extension

Post #1 of 4 (100 views)

Is there a way to programmatically get a download link for an extension if
you have the extension name and version of MediaWiki? E.g. for Wikispeech
and MW 1.39 this would (currently) be
https://extdist.wmflabs.org/dist/extensions/Wikispeech-REL1_39-5dc08c9.tar.gz.
It's the hash(?) a the end that makes it tricky.

Using a Git checkout would be easiest

The ExtensionDistributor
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ExtensionDistributor> API can
get you download URLs, e.g. this:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&list=extdistbranches&formatversion=2&edbexts=WikiEditor
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&list=extdistbranches&formatversion=2&edbexts=WikiEditor>

returns this sort of thing:

"REL1_39":
"https://extdist.wmflabs.org/dist/extensions/WikiEditor-REL1_39-76d9ffd.tar.gz",
"REL1_40":
"https://extdist.wmflabs.org/dist/extensions/WikiEditor-REL1_40-d330183.tar.gz",
"master":
"https://extdist.wmflabs.org/dist/extensions/WikiEditor-master-17163cd.tar.gz",
