Can download url be fixed for Scoop package management?

Recently, I am addicted to scoop, a package management on Windows.

I like Renamer very much. I think if she is more convenient to manage on the scoop bucket, I tried to make her a manifest. Finally, I found that the download link is not reliable, so I can't finish it.

Can this be change a bit? THX.

Sure, something similar was already done for the Chocolatey package management.

Take a download URL and append a special parameter to the end "?token=scoop". Please use this token ONLY for the Scoop package.

See also the relevant Chocolatey packages for the reference:

Thank you very much for your support.

I am also looking for support from scoop, hoping to solve this problem from another direction....

The version-less URLs will always download the latest version.

But you can also link to a specific version, see the list of all downloads:
