The the version of the current instance cannot be fetched from the instance. Neither from the Dashboard or status pages eg in the footer, nor from an api endpoint.

What is your actual usecase for this?
We currently don't have a footer, what are expecting?

Users have previously requested this to NOT be the case. In 1.23.0, we have removed this.
See https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/issues/3374#issuecomment-1672861789:

⬆️ Security Fixes
https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/pull/3421 Hardening: Avoid exposing the Uptime Kuma version to the public

Note

We do show a warning if you are running an outdated version (unless you disabled this).
The version is shown in /settings/about.

Note

we currently use the "info" socketio event. This event is send AFTER login. See #3421

There are two use cases.

I would like to see the version in the first page (after login) in my dashboard. Not clicking 2 times to see it.
I want to fetch the version from the API (also with API key, not public) to make automatic checks of the version and if updates are available for notification. I personally don´t got often to the dashboard I use the notification to mattermost. Therefore I do not see the update available notification on the dashboard. nor do I see if it's a major or minor update (based on the version number). I have a script which fetches those information from all my services I am hosting and check on regular bases the version and if there is a new update available. I want to do this also for Uptime Kuma.

In that case the banner seems suficcient to me => activate it (the default is on)

Our first draft at a non-socket.io API is tracked in #118 and this work has been done https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/pull/3854

I think for your usecase, using the socker.io api should be fine if you just want to have a script => no need to wait for v2.1
