Host your own API
Heroku Guide

Setup a free Heroku Account.
https://signup.heroku.com/

Install Heroku Tools. Make sure Git is checked on the install options.
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python#set-up

Open a terminal/command prompt and login to Heroku
heroku login

Download the source for the API application.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/372253844953890817/407109299127451648/versionAPI.7z

Extract the folder. Open the folder.

Inside the folder, open a terminal/command prompt. Run the following commands
git init heroku create git add . git commit -m "Initial Commit" git push heroku master

It should provide a url for you to access the application. Follow that URL, and you should see the web frontend for the API. Run a set of IDs through that form, and validate the output.


Your API URL is the Heroku App URL + /api/v1/versioncheck

Example
https://arkmods-versionchecker.herokuapp.com/ https://arkmods-versionchecker.herokuapp.com/api/v1/versioncheck
