[wp-hackers] Accessing Update Check API Outside of WordPress

[Mike Little]

I presume most of these kind of scripts would be run on the machine that
also hosts the sites in question. Thus PHP will be installed. Why not just
write the parsing code in PHP (using the WP code to start) and have it spit
out the specific bits required, then call that PHP code from your shell
scripts?
