Wow, lots of positive comments on this board. If you require additional support implementing the new API, please contact BigBizkit or Pickysaurus. We have documentation for the new API available here. How can I update my app to use the new API? We encourage these users to transition to Vortex or update NMM to the latest community-maintained version. Users with the last official release of Nexus Mod Manager (v0.65.2) will no longer be able to log in and will see an error message (below). You will still be able to download mods manually and import them into the application. No, your mod manager will still work for any functions that don't require a connection to Nexus Mods until you update to a compatible version. We've designed the new API with 3rd party developers in mind, making it much more accessible to integrate Nexus Mods functionality into their tools and games and we’ve built on a platform that we can scale easily going forward.Īny application that is still using the old API, examples include:ĭoes this mean I can't use my mod manager anymore? Continuing to use this system would eventually lead to significantly degraded performance for applications using the service. Other applications reverse engineered this API as time went on, but we never released any documentation for it. The legacy API was designed primarily to be used by Nexus Mod Manager when our user base was significantly smaller. We made changes last year to move the legacy API to https only which addressed a number of security issues, but the codebase is from an old version of the Nexus Mods website which made it difficult to keep secure without compromising usability.Īnother important consideration is performance and scalability. The simple answer is that the legacy API was no longer fit for purpose and had become increasingly hard to develop on and maintain. We've been working with the developers who maintain some of the most popular modding tools to help them make the transition to the new API, so many applications that were using this API have already been updated. This system has been fully replaced by the new Nexus Mods API and is therefore redundant.Īny applications using this service will no longer be able to log in, retrieve mod information or handle downloads from our site. Following the announcement 3 months ago, today is the day we'll be turning off our legacy modding API.
