thoughts on this? i'm trying to cut cut down CI job run time and at 10s total runtime an extra http request becomes a low hanging fruit :-)

I think it's worth exploring, however, it won't get you away from having HTTP requests as part of the build process as browser-sleuth queries the firefox and chrome endpoints to determine version anyway.

I think Nathan's original intention when implementing his API was to provide a one endpoint to "rule them all".

IMO, it's 6 in one hand and half a dozen in the other (assuming the browser version api remains up). I'll create an issue on Nathan's browser version api project for us to discuss uptime, and I think if we don't find ourselves with a good solution, then maybe dropping back to using browser sleuth directly might be the right way to go.
