The new appledb.dev site lists macOS beta IPSWs, and the database backend is just JSON files accessible via GitHub API:
download_url
from API listing above): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/littlebyteorg/appledb/main/osFiles/macOS/23x%20-%2014.x/23A5286i.jsonHeck, it looks like you could actually switch from using IPSW.me API to this appledb.dev GitHub API for all IPSW listings if you wanted to.
Thanks @PicoMitchell , I create a mirror of https://appledb.dev/pageData/device/identifier/VirtualMac2,1.json so we can use it internally and not spam appledb.dev with requests

I'll begin with saying that I'm not sure a solution is available to help with this issue today, but I wanted to at least document my desire for the feature and my findings so far.
Today,
mist list firmware --include-betas
does not actually include any of the betas.Notably missing as of today are
macOS 12.5 beta 3 (21G5046c)
andmacOS 13 beta 2 (22A5286j)
This is likely due to the ipsw.me API not including the necessary information, and I'm also not yet sure if there is an official source that does.
https://ipsw.dev/macos/13.x/ appears to have the information, but no API available.
