Mod-Portal API : searching by mod title

[Rikitav]

Hello again, this is me with my browser of mods. Using API : https://wiki.factorio.com/Mod_portal_API#Releases
I can’t understand how to filter mods by name. I mean, I saw that there is an namelist parameter there, but how it works explained shitty. Neither the acceptable format, nor how it should look when sending.

Code: Select all

https://mods.factorio.com/api/mods?hide_deprecated=true&namelist=krastorio

I tried using it like this, but it just returns empty results page

There is no mod with that name I'd assume. https://mods.factorio.com/api/mods?hide ... Krastorio2 works.

So you need to specify the full ID of mod? It's somehow stupid. So i should request the entire database through page_size=max to filter them humanly?

Unfortunately the API does not do any sort of search. You can request specific mod(s) or all mods and nothing in between yet. Search functionality that matches the official mod portal and in-game mod browser search functions would be a good request to make!

I did not want to resort to this method initially, but once otherwise sorting and filtering cannot be done, then at the same time I will realize the Hihlighted mods page!
