check current nvidia driver version linux

So as far as I know, the only place with all the info I need is the “Current graphics driver releases” post here. Their FTP doesn’t list what versions are stable & beta, and their driver list webpage doesn’t include betas. The “Current graphics driver releases” post has the info I need, but requires a hack to download the page. I want to retrieve the current stable & beta driver versions, preferably without needing to hack around the “protection” that prevents webcrawling/downloading forum pages.

Last, the stuff at unfortunately doesn’t tell you which versions are stable and which are beta. Additionally, Nvidia’s own webpage doesn’t include beta versions so that’s useless to me. You can hack around it but it’s a hassle so I’ll only do that as a last resort. The problem is for some (probably silly) reason, downloading a forum webpage is blocked here. If you look at the Current graphics driver releases - Linux - NVIDIA Developer Forums thread, that list of driver versions is what I’m after (including beta versions). I’m trying to fetch the version numbers for the current stable & beta drivers, not trying to download the binary installer/*.run files.
