Update notifier for mods?

[Droa]

So i was wondering, if there was a program where i could track updates for mods?

if not, i was thinking of making one, main problem is, i've not been able to find any api access for curse.com, kerbalstuff.com or this forum, making it only posable to track data, by making a very complicated crawler.

my main idea was to make a crawler, scanning curse.com, kerbalstuff.com and the forum, to populate a database hosted on my own site, generating xml output, then have a user-client that can access thouse data.

however since that is a pretty big job (but someone has to do it), i rather just check if anyone already had made a project like this, in the deep dark part of the internet

Also, if you register at KerbalStuff, you can Follow mods to receive e-mail notifications.

actually been working on my own api, currently compatable with the ksp forum, and made 1 gigantic xml of all mods, version and compatibility.

it's a single-threaded crawler, so it wont stress the forum-server, however hopyfully it could be usefull someday, when i add more api-options

its currently chewing throw the kspform. the version identifier, could be a little bit better, but works for now, i have to manually go trough the db after the initial crawling, after that, it have better guessing
