How to get alfresco version number programmatically

I am using Alfresco. I know how to see installed Alfresco vesrion number, but I need to get this version number programmatically, for example via rest API or some http request. Is it possible to do that?

You can use the "Browser Binding" API of the CMIS protocol.

In particular, read this property:

productVersion

Reference: http://docs.oasis-open.org/cmis/CMIS/v1.1/cs01/CMIS-v1.1-cs01.html#x1-1660002 paragraph 2.2.2.2.2

Advantage over the other methods: CMIS is a standard so this operation will always be available, unlike the Share webscripts which might change. Also, your code will be compatible with any other CMIS implementation.

Here is an example of how CMIS via JavaScript works.

The REST API that Share uses to get the data from the repo is (e.g.):

http://localhost:8081/share/proxy/alfresco/api/server

This returns:

{
   data: {
      edition: "Enterprise",
      version: "5.0.0",
      schema: "8002"
   }
}

That webscript is this one: https://github.com/Alfresco/community-edition/blob/master/projects/remote-api/config/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/repository/server.get.desc.xml

In JavaScript code you can use the server object:

server.version
server.versionMajor
server.versionMinor
server.versionRevision
server.edition

In Java you can use the DescriptorService, for example:

serviceRegistry.getDescriptorService().getCurrentRepositoryDescriptor().getVersion()
