Idk if this is intentional, but v2 of the api is out. v1 is probably considered deprecated. https://papermc.io/api

Is there a way to download the latest build with API V2?
https://papermc.io/api/v2/projects/paper/versions/1.16.4
This gives back all the available builds, but how can I select only the latest?
Like with: https://papermc.io/api/v1/paper/1.16.4/latest/download

Not with only 1 http request. You can get the list of builds, and then get the last build number and download that build.

That will make more work to be done. Currently my MC server is creating a backup every day and restarting the server, but before downloading the latest version to be up-to-date (with https://papermc.io/api/v1/paper/1.16.4/latest/download).
So you're saying I have to write a script which reads out the latest build number from the V2 response and download only that, there won't be any "latest" link in the future?

If you'd like to have latest as an option, you can open an issue on https://github.com/PaperMC/library.

Yeah, the docs site is currently outdated since v2 was released just a few days ago.

Ok, thanks for the help ;)
