That's not a new api, it's just newly rebranded, doesn't support everything forgesvc does and also doesn't count towards downloads/rewards for mod creators, only forgesvc does because it's used by the launcher.

Thanks for the documentation, it helped me so much!

How do I convert a slug to an ID for use in the API?

It seems they have protected the api, since it now gives a 403 error.

Switching to the new API is not too difficult - most of the structure and fields are the same.
The new API requires an API-key - this is fine, however, I am not able to find any information about rate-limiting. Fingers crossed it's not too restrictive.

Anyone know why they've restricted access to classId 5? It is not returning any data.. (Bukkit plugins)

When I use API today, I got a 503 error, is it means this API will no longer provides or just a temporary error?

The offical API requires register and provides API key, is there any third-party API does not requires API key?

is there any third-party API does not requires API key?

Unfortunately no. You must mail to curseforge developers to get key. You can't use given API Key from your profile in Core.

I registered and get API key easyly. Dont worry about it.

I got my API key from my profile at core, so idk why you would need to mail curseforge... also I could make a public API thing but if bad people are misuuing it then I got a problem and with the ratelimits... Op zo 31 jul. 2022 09:27 schreef Veys Aliyev ***@***.***>:
