How do I fetch versions of a module compatible with latest core version? I've been using the endpoint https://updates.drupal.org/release-history/[module]/[version], where [module] is the module name and [version] is its version (as 8.x or 7.x). This endpoint, however, doesn't work for 9.x.

For example https://updates.drupal.org/release-history/search_api_solr/8.x works fine but https://updates.drupal.org/release-history/search_api_solr/9.x has nothing, although the module has releases compatible with Drupal 9.

Also, the endpoint for 8.x doesn't return new releases in SEMVER format.

How can I get module releases for Drupal 9? Why aren't SEMVER releases  included?
You can use https://updates.drupal.org/release-history/search_api_solr/current to get the versions either prefixed with 8.x- or without an API compatibility prefix. (The latter is the case for SEMVER versions.)

The output from that URL contains information about this release, for example.

&lt;release&gt;
&lt;name&gt;search_api_solr 4.1.1&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;version&gt;4.1.1&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;tag&gt;4.1.1&lt;/tag&gt;
&lt;status&gt;published&lt;/status&gt;
&lt;release_link&gt;https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_solr/releases/4.1.1&lt;/release_link&gt;
&lt;download_link&gt;https://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/search_api_solr-4.1.1.tar.gz&lt;/download_link&gt;
&lt;date&gt;1591714636&lt;/date&gt;

&lt;filedate&gt;1591714636&lt;/filedate&gt;
&lt;/file&gt;
&lt;file&gt;
&lt;url&gt;https://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/search_api_solr-4.1.1.zip&lt;/url&gt;
&lt;archive_type&gt;zip&lt;/archive_type&gt;

It also contains data for this release. (This shows that the URL doesn't return information only for SEMVER versions.)

&lt;release&gt;

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to get all the versions that are compatible also with Drupal 9 and not just with Drupal 8, using an updates.drupal.org URL. For that, you need to parse the XML output and filter those versions containing ^9 in the &lt;core_compatibility&gt; tag.

As side note, the all, 8.x, 7.x end-points are considered legacy. I guess that means they could be removed in the future.
