Thanks for the PR!

Do you know how the authorization is scoped? I.e. will a request that authenticates with a valid token be allowed to pull data for any target, or does the token have to be explicitly authorized/scoped to the target in order to work?

[Minecraftschurli]

it is an api token auth which is normally not scoped (in this case it is unscoped)

[Minecraftschurli]

I have tested it with my api token and it worked (I didn't have to set any scopes)

[calebcartwright]

The process for requesting an api key looks notably more involved and complicated than what we typically have to go through. What was your experience like?

[Minecraftschurli]

I used the game developer api key which just requires a google account login

Gotcha. We're going to need some time to talk this over amongst the core team, as well as likely needing to have a dialog with the Curseforge folks to determine if/when this might be viable to proceed.
