direct link/API to download aseprite plugins

Hi,

I wanted to write a plugin manager for aseprite so that I can declare what plugins I want ahead of time in a file somewhere and it is managed. Aseprite plugins are primarily distributed on itch.io mostly for free but some require payment. Using OAuth is not a problem but I was wondering if there was a way to request the zip file through itch.io's API?

Our download APIs are currently private and used by our desktyop app. Our app is opensource if you want to go reverse engineer it.

Unfortunately, itch.io's API doesn't directly support downloading plugin zip files. Consider using a manifest file with manual downloads, utilizing third-party download services like GitHub Releases, or creating a community-driven repository for plugin distribution. Implement security measures to validate downloaded files before installation.
