AoE2 DE Mod downloader bookmarklet

TL;DR:

1. Make a new bookmark
   • Copy the contents of the snippet below into location field for a new bookmark.
   • Call bookmark whatever you want, I went with AoE2 DE Mod DL.
2. Make sure you are signed into the website (https://ageofempires.com/mods), if you aren't, the API will just reject your request.
   • It's completely free and doesn't care if you own the game on that account.
3. Navigate to mod of your choice and click the bookmark.
4. Wait for a bit, the API tends to be slow...
5. You should get a download popup for mod's archive.
6. Extract archive into something like C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\SOME NUMBERS\mods\local
   • For example I want x256 techs mod (mod id: 832), I would extract contents of the newly downloaded aoe_832.zip into folder C:\Users\alyti\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\1212112121212121212\mods\local\aoe_832.

bookmarklet

javascript:(function() {
let id = parseInt(location.pathname.match("([0-9]{1,5})")[0], 10); if (id === NaN) {return};
fetch("https://api.ageofempires.com/api/v1/mods/Download", {"credentials": "include", "headers": { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, "body": JSON.stringify({id, boolValue: true}), "method": "POST", "mode": "cors"}).then(r => r.json()).then(r => {location.href = r.value.downloadUrl}).catch(e => console.log(e));
})()

My code work perfect
javascript:(function(){fetch("https://api.ageofempires.com/api/v1/mods/Download",{"credentials":"include","headers":{"Content-Type":"application/json"},"body":JSON.stringify({id: prompt("Enter Mod ID:"), boolValue: true}),"method":"POST","mode":"cors"}).then(r=>r.json()).then(r=>{if(r.value && r.value.downloadUrl){location.href=r.value.downloadUrl;}else{alert("Failed to get download URL.");}}).catch(e=>{console.log(e);alert("An error occurred. Check console for details.");});})();
and put your pages id and work ;)
