Overview
The mod.io API is a cross-platform modding platform that lets you access, upload, and manage game mods programmatically. Game developers can integrate mod.io into their games so players can browse and install community mods directly. You need a free API key for read access, and OAuth for mod management operations.
Beginner Tip
Start with the GET /games endpoint to see all games that use mod.io, then pick a game ID and call GET /games/{game-id}/mods to browse its mod library. Register for a free API key at https://mod.io to authenticate your requests.
