API rather than running Updater tool?

Question

Hi - I was wondering if there is an exposed API I can use to obtain daily updates rather than using the Updater Tool?

The updater works perfectly for me - but the box I host the MySql on is reaching end-of-life and so I'd prefer to host it's replacement in Azure.  To keep costs reasonable, I'd rather add an Azure Function to call and parse any JSON data (say), allowing me to just have a bog-standard MySql shared instance rather than having to pay for a complete VM/PaaS.

Many thanks

Nick

Hi - no plans for an API as yet, however we do have users successfully running the updater who use Azure.
