Neat, I didn't know about that. Thanks!

I did know about the REST API where you have to use release ID
numbers that aren't in the page but can be found with another
API call:
wget -q -O - 'https://api.github.com/repos/ip7z/7zip/releases' | less
 22.00 = 134213671
wget -q -O - 'https://api.github.com/repos/ip7z/7zip/releases/134213671' | grep browser_download_url
      "browser_download_url": "https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/download/22.00/7z2200-arm.exe"
      "browser_download_url": "https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/download/22.00/7z2200-arm64.exe"
      "browser_download_url": "https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/download/22.00/7z2200-extra.7z"
      "browser_download_url": "https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/download/22.00/7z2200-linux-arm.tar.xz"
      "browser_download_url": "https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/download/22.00/7z2200-linux-arm64.tar.xz"
      "browser_download_url": "https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/download/22.00/7z2200-linux-x64.tar.xz"
      "browser_download_url": "https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/download/22.00/7z2200-linux-x86.tar.xz"
      "browser_download_url": "https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/download/22.00/7z2200-src.7z"
      "browser_download_url": "https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/download/22.00/7z2200-src.tar.xz"

Your way using "expanded_assets" is much easier!
