Curse

Curse (Curse Inc.) built and operated CurseForge, Gamepedia, and the Curse gaming network; its platform assets are now operated under Fandom / Overwolf. The live developer surface is the CurseForge Core API — a REST API over the CurseForge catalog of game mods, modpacks, and add-ons, covering games, categories, mods, files, fingerprint matching, and Minecraft versions and mod loaders. It is authenticated with an x-api-key header issued from the CurseForge for Studios developer console, with third-party access granted via an approved application.

Curse publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Categories API, Files API, Fingerprints API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Company, Gaming, Mods, Minecraft, and Game Content.

Curse’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 21 more developer resources.
