Just adding my comment here to also express how flipping annoying this change to their API URL was.

PaperMC literally had no reason to do this other than trying to make a point, which causes issues like these unnecessary.

Broke my own private server and it took me embarrassingly long to figure out why it broke (I kept thinking my own scripting unrelated to PaperMC was just broken as I had updated it the night before the API change and the server was set to update the next day...)

I would also like to add that there is a cron entry already in the container:

*/60 * * * * /app/pmcserver update > /dev/null 2>&1

I don't know if this is intentional, but it is very annoying because I'd like to set my own update interval without having to modify the actual application code. I didn't think it was necessary to make an issue for such a small problem. Thanks!

Best to make issues as it helps organize and track, vs having an issue commented inside an unrelated issue.

Will do!
