Firmware Downloads
FYI here's a little script that downloads all available firmware versions starting with v6.0.0. It'll be good to keep them on hand for the day that they go away online. Unfortunately, however, so...
CrimpOn​ reports that the URL is https://kb.netgear.com/sitemap.
He's written Python programs that go through the file and build various summaries.
His current use is:
- I run a Python program every day to process the file and create a csv file with only the English articles (about 8,897 out the total of 25,354).
- Then run another Python program comparing this file with the previous day and find:
o Every article that is "new"
o Every article that no longer appears
o Every article where the title has changed
o Every article where the title remains the same but the "last update" date has changed - It's pretty clear that no one is updating articles most weekends
- Twice this year, Netgear completely reloaded the Knowledgebase, which changed the date of last update on every article to that date. i.e. indicating that the date that appears when an article is displayed was not entered by the author, but has been set by the loading process.
(a major annoyance because I have to delete all those rows from the results file).

This is a nuisance for all of us, since this makes it impossible to know when the KB article was first published.
I guess for your purpose you'd only want to automate download of the English KB articles. Identifying ReadyNAS articles is a bit tricky - while most have ReadyNAS in the title, some do not. For instance this one includes some ReadyNAS products:

I'm hoping 🤞that article titles will assist in identifying those that contain firmware update links.
But I'm sure all that'll come out in the building of the thing.
