Finding dependents on a mod

Post by protocol_1903 »

Is there a way to find mods that are dependents (not dependencies) of another mod? Like you have Space Exploration, is there a way to find mods that depend on Space Exploration as a required/optional dependency? Or would you have to manually scrape the mod portal?
If you need to reach me, message me on discord.

I make qol mods. Check them out, maybe.

If you have a mod idea, I can look into it.

The mod portal doesn't have this feature yet. Please don't scrape the mod portal, instead you can use our APIs https://wiki.factorio.com/Factorio_HTTP ... guidelines

e.g. Quezler made this: https://proxmox.nydus.app/factorio-mod- ... mods-v1.js
