1 month ago We do already provide the API at api.adoptium.net which allows you to get a redirect to the latest download. For example: https://api.adoptium.net/v3/binary/latest/8/ga/windows/x64/jdk/hotspot/normal/adoptium is (almost) the link you're looking for. I say almost because that's the zip file, not the MSI installer. Is that adequate for your needs?
It is possible to locate the MSI installer but it's a bit more work, for example you can retrieve the JSON from: https://api.adoptium.net/v3/assets/feature_releases/8/ga?architecture=x64&image_type=jdk&jvm_impl=hotspot&os=windows&page=0&page_size=1&project=jdk&vendor=eclipse and find the binaries/installer/link in there get the underlying URL to the MSI. It's not ideal, but gives you an option for now if you need to automatically download and install the MSI file
I would also suggest raising a feature request at https://github.com/adoptium/api.adoptium.net/issues/new/choose to make the installers more easily accessible in a single API call in the same way as the zip ones, as I hadn't realised we didn't already have that funtionality and it would be a good addition.
References:
- API "Swagger" UI for generating and testing api calls
- Some API examples for pulling "early access" builds. While that post is about ea builds, in general the GA (release) versions can be obtained by replacing "ea" with "ga" in the API links
Hope that helps!

Question
Is there any way to get a permanent link to download Eclipse Temurin? If not, could it be a feature under consideration.
Context
Some dists (such as Oracle, Microsoft, etc) provide permanent links to download jdksCould Temurin provide this feature as well.
For Example, to download jdk8, URL
https://adoptium.net/zh-CN/download/8/JDK_8_windows_x64_latest.msi(I made this up) always get the latest version of jdk8 installer for Windows x64, similiar to other platform/architecture and the checksum.It would be very nice for automatic tools and sync platfrom if it is available.
