Check ASUS for new drivers

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Since debloating, I don’t have MyASUS installed to check for drivers for me. I go to the ASUS support web site and check periodically. Are you interested in G-helper filling this role, notifying end-customers that there are new drivers for their device?

Describe the solution you’d like

GET https://rog.asus.com/support/webapi/product/GetPDBIOS?website=global&model=GA402XY&pdid=22300&cpu=GA402XI&LevelTagId=161533&systemCode=rog GET https://rog.asus.com/support/webapi/product/GetPDDrivers?website=global&model=GA402XY&pdid=22300&mode=&cpu=GA402XI&osid=52&active=&LevelTagId=161533&systemCode=rog

The JSON response is a feed of driver releases.

One idea I have is to simply transform that to ATOM/RSS using SyndicationFeed , and self-host my own little service that tells me of new releases. Advantage is I already use a feed reader (miniflux) so have all the capabilities of marking read etc from that app.

But the better customer experience would be for G-helper to notify the end user. There might be too many permutations of model/pdid/cpu/osid that would make it too complex to try and decipher and construct the needed URI.

Curious to see if you’re interested or have other thoughts.

Here’s a quick implementation (about 50 lines of code) to produce an Atom feed from the driver & bios JSON. It requires end-users self-host; I have it working with Docker on my local raspberry pi. https://github.com/pettijohn/AsusDriverFeed

I won’t be publicly hosting this as I don’t want to hammer Asus from a single IP, nor do I want to harden it for public-facing (error handling, caching, rate limiting, etc etc).

@pettijohn hello, thanks for the tip. Feed looks good, and i can try to add an update checker to the app 😃

I see if you remove LevelTagId (what is that anyway?) it stats showing device IDs in a feed https://rog.asus.com/support/webapi/product/GetPDDrivers?website=global&model=GA402XY&pdid=22300&mode=&cpu=GA402XI&osid=52&active=&systemCode=rog
