# Update Check Service
Makes a request to updates.ghost.org to check for release & custom notifications. The service is provided in return for users opting in to anonymous usage data collection.
## Install
`npm install @tryghost/update-check-service --save`
or
`yarn add @tryghost/update-check-service`
## Usage
Check the UpdateCheckService's constructor JSDoc for the list of available parameters. This is how the service is initialized in Ghost:
```js
const api = require('./api').v2;
const GhostMailer = require('./services/mail').GhostMailer;
const config = require('../shared/config');
const urlUtils = require('./../shared/url-utils');
const i18n = require('../shared/i18n');
const logging = require('../shared/logging');
const request = require('./lib/request');
const ghostVersion = require('./lib/ghost-version');
const UpdateCheckService = require('@tryghost/update-check-service');
const updateChecker = new UpdateCheckService({
api: {
settings: {
read: api.settings.read,
edit: api.settings.edit
},
posts: {
browse: api.posts.browse
},
users: {
browse: api.users.browse
},
notifications: {
add: api.notifications.add
}
},
config: {
mail: config.get('mail'),
env: config.get('env'),
databaseType: config.get('database').client,
checkEndpoint: config.get('updateCheck:url'),
isPrivacyDisabled: config.isPrivacyDisabled('useUpdateCheck'),
notificationGroups: config.get('notificationGroups'),
siteUrl: urlUtils.urlFor('home', true),
forceUpdate: config.get('updateCheck:forceUpdate'),
ghostVersion: ghostVersion.original
},
i18n,
logging,
request,
sendEmail: ghostMailer.send
});
// run the update check with
updateChecker.check();
```
