For developers who need unattended downloads and installs of\u00a0 <\/span>Vulkan<\/span> SDKs, we have a solution! This solution also provides a programmatic way to determine all the contributing Vulkan repositories and their commits or branches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unattended Downloads and Installs of Vulkan SDKs<\/h3>\n
Developers may need to do unattended downloads and installs of Vulkan SDKs. There is an API available from the Vulkan SDK Download site<\/a><\/strong>, also known as LunarXchange, that allows these queries and unattended installs. The API is documented on LunarXchange on the SDK page. See the link\u00a0“SDK version query and download API.”<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/h3>\n

Programmatic Versioning of SDK Repositories<\/h3>\n
In addition, within the release notes for each SDK, all of the contributing repositories and their commits and\/or branches are documented. Developers may need a programmatic way to detect the SDK versions to ascertain if a newer version is available. You can use this same API to download a config.json file that documents the commits and\/or branches for each repository used to build the SDK components.<\/div>\n
