Hi there,  
Is there some kind of API or a URL that I can check with what's Filebeat's latest version from a script?

Thanks!

There would be plenty of ways to do it, one way that I would prefer is to use the github Release API, and check our current release here:

> **[Releases · elastic/beats](https://github.com/elastic/beats/releases)**
>
> //github.com/elastic/beats/releases

> **[Repositories - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/repos#releases)**
