Info Nexus Mods Public Account Credentials for Downloading

[Arnox]

Due to Nexus Mods obnoxiously insisting that every user downloading mods needs to make an account (and they won't allow emails from non-whitelisted domains either), I have taken it upon myself to provide an account for public use.

Note that this is ONLY for downloading. You may use the API keys but do not fuck with the account(s) listed or make any comments or uploads whatsoever with it. Sanctuary provides these accounts for use on a good faith basis.

Spoiler: Account Credentials

Seriously. Read the bolded instructions.

I have reached a daily or hourly limit / API requests have been consumed / Rate Limit Exceeded - What does this mean? - Nexus Mods Site Help

What is rate limiting? As a security measure, we limit user requests to our public API to a reasonable limit. The limit is 20,000 requests per 24-hour period, a

"I have reached a daily or hourly limit / API requests have been consumed / Rate Limit Exceeded - What does this mean? What is rate limiting? As a security measure, we limit user requests to our public API to a reasonable limit.The limit is 10,000 requests per 24h period, and once that limit has been reached 500 requests per hour."

"Once you have reached your limit - that is both the 10,000 request limit per 24h as well as the hourly 500 requests limit - you will be unable to make any more requests (such as mod downloads, mod update queries etc.) for the designated time frame (within the same hour)."

"I have been rate limited and I have not downloaded anywhere close to 3300 mods in a 24h period. What is going on? If you have been rate limited, it is because you have exceeded our daily and hourly request limit. Note that mod downloads are just one way of making requests to our API. Other ways of making requests include e.g. querying mod updates or mod information via a mod manager or other applications referencing our API."

Even so, I'm sure you guys here will not surpass that, and even if you do, I can just make another account.

I downloaded a few small mods, using it. I could re-upload them here, just to spite nexus mods.

So far so good I find it stupid why can't Nexus just let people download mods with signing in, oh well. Sill be nice for everything to not be sign up here or there. But thanks for the account it helps out.

The official reason is that Nexus Mods rewards authors based on validated downloads. Of course, why they set up the system like that instead of just allowing donations, I will never know.
