How to get alfresco version number programmatically

I am using Alfresco. I know how to see the installed Alfresco vesrion number, but I need to get this version number programmatically, for example via API access or some kind of HTTP request. Is it possible to do this?

REST API that uses Share to get data from a repo (for example):

http://localhost:8081/share/proxy/alfresco/api/server

This returns:



{
   data: {
      edition: "Enterprise",
      version: "5.0.0",
      schema: "8002"
   }
}

This website looks like this: https://github.com/Alfresco/community-edition/blob/master/projects/remote-api/config/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/repository/server.get. desc.xml

In JavaScript code, you can use the server object:

server.version
server.versionMajor
server.versionMinor
server.versionRevision
server.edition


In Java, you can use DescriptorService like:

serviceRegistry.getDescriptorService().getCurrentRepositoryDescriptor().getVersion()

You can use the Browser Interface API for the CMIS protocol.

In particular, read this property:

productVersion

Advantage over other methods: CMIS is standard, so this operation will always be available, as opposed to Share web scripts, which can change. Also, your code will be compatible with any other CMIS implementation.

Here's an example of how CMIS works through JavaScript .
