github download changed

[frostworx]

The github internal download urls changed, so multiple download parts in steamtinkerlaunch need to be rewritten.
When done steamtinkerlaunch will (likely) require jq as hard dependency (until now it was optional) because the github api will be used.

The GitHub API does have a rate limit per user, but I believe it's fairly high. I think even if a user downloaded every available tool with STL they still wouldn't hit it. You can avoid this by passing a GitHub access token to the API call in the header ('Authorization').

Maybe as a "precaution" there could be an option to pass an access token to SteamTinkerLaunch? Either via command line and/or in the Global menu 😃

good hint, thanks! didn't know that.
yeah using an optional token probably makes sense. Need to look into it.
seems like
https://github.com/settings/tokens
is the url the user has to visit for getting a token

edit:
the wget syntax from https://superuser.com/a/810160
is probably still valid
