I am now in possession of a factorio wiki account, so I'll do my damnedest to bring the api pages up to date with whatever I find while poking around

I've been creating a mod called "Lightorio" (that's the internal name, btw) but the mod portal won't let me upload the mod, with the error "Mod with that name already exists." Even though I checked before I even started making the mod that the internal name wasn't already used by another mod. So, I go ...

unfortunately it's not quite comprehensive in terms of the endpoints available but I'll make it work

Yeah I suppose that does make sense, I appreciate the pointer! I'll see if I can finagle anything together

I don’t believe that a public documentation of the mod portal API has been posted; it’s not very complex and mostly seems to follow REST conventions once you’re logged-in or have a token.
