For information.

Used the PowerShell command for Windows 64-bit from here - https://squirrelistic.com/blog/how_to_download_older_version_of_google_chrome

Code:
$ChromeVersion = '115'

$requestId = ([String][Guid]::NewGuid()).ToUpper()
$sessionId = ([String][Guid]::NewGuid()).ToUpper()

$xml = @"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<request protocol="3.0" updater="Omaha" updaterversion="1.3.36.111" shell_version="1.3.36.111"
    ismachine="1" sessionid="{$sessionId}"
    installsource="update3web-ondemand" requestid="{$requestId}"
    dedup="cr" domainjoined="0">

"@

$webRequest = @{
    Method    = 'Post'
    Uri       = 'https://tools.google.com/service/update2'
    Headers   = @{
        'Content-Type' = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
        'X-Goog-Update-Interactivity' = 'fg'
    }
    Body      = $Xml
}

$result = Invoke-WebRequest @webRequest -UseBasicParsing
$contentXml = [xml]$result.Content
$status = $contentXml.response.app.updatecheck.status
if ($status -eq 'ok') {
    $package = $contentXml.response.app.updatecheck.manifest.packages.package
    $urls = $contentXml.response.app.updatecheck.urls.url | ForEach-Object { $_.codebase + $package.name }
    Write-Output "--- Chrome Windows 64-bit found. Hash=$($package.hash) Hash_sha256=$($package.hash_sha256)). ---"
    Write-Output $urls
}
else {
    Write-Output "Chrome not found (status: $status)"
}

But made some changes to get (Dev and Beta)

For a particular version of Dev 131.0.6768.4:

--- Chrome Windows 64-bit Dev found. Hash=1sribMmZa5dFRJcIQMspISkYxks= Hash_sha256=90bd04dca229429a9718c70a34a278535f9ff3f578a457c2eaeedcfe5f9aeaf5). ---

Note that I changed the "ap" attribute in the "app" element to "x64-dev" to specify the Dev update channel. I also updated the version in the "$ChromeVersion" variable to "131.0.6768.4" to get links for this specific version.
