CurseForge API

Get CurseForge data as clean JSON with one key: 2 endpoints, 1 to 5 credits per call, the same response shape as every other platform.

What you get#

Onekey exposes CurseForge as 2 endpoints behind one API key: 1 endpoint return one record (data is an object) and 1 endpoint return a list (data is an array). Every answer uses the same envelope (success, data, metadata, error), the cost is reported in metadata.credits_charged, and fields are mapped onto the unified schema so the code you write for CurseForge also works for the rest of the gaming category.

Endpoints#

EndpointWhat it doesParametersCreditsStatus
modFetch a CurseForge mod by id.id*1beta
searchSearch CurseForge Minecraft mods.q*5beta

A * marks a required parameter. Each endpoint name links to its reference page with the full parameter table, caching window and a recorded response.

Make a request#

This calls curseforge.mod (1 credit, beta). Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key; sign up, no card. 1,000 free credits cover the open-platform endpoints. Hard-to-reach platforms (X, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and others marked on their page) need a verified email and a purchased pack.

curl "https://api.onekey.dev/v1/curseforge/mod?id=238222" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Fields you get back#

These unified fields come back from CurseForge, with the same names as on every other platform. The count is how many of its 2 mapped endpoints return the field; a field the source lacks is null, never missing.
