The Mod Portal API is used to both browse and download all mods available on the official Factorio mod portal. Using the API does not require any kind of authentication or account information and can be viewed simply by following the URLs below in any web browser.

https://mods.factorio.com/api/mods

More detailed information about a particular mod can be obtained by retrieving the following URL, where {name} is the mod's name field in the result object.

https://mods.factorio.com/api/mods/{name}

Endpoints

TODO!!! Note: The mod portal has been partially rewritten, and much of this section is out of date. Most of the parameters have been shifted to url path strings. Documentation needs to be updated, I'll do it soon(tm)! --Lexxy Fox (talk) 15:44, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
