I think the quotes are screwing it up:

"foo["bar"]"

should be:

"foo[\"bar\"]"

You need to escape the quotes that are inside the string.

Yeah that looks like the problem. Alternatively, enclosing the whole string in single quotes should also work:

'foo["bar"]'

You use a ? instead of / after search.
This line seemed to work:
$HTTPRequest.request("https://api.modrinth.com/v2/search?fabric['categories:forge'],['versions:1.17.1'],['project_type:mod'],['license:mit']")

I say seems to because it brings up a bunch of items however the categories, licenses, versions don’t match the filters in all cases.
I am not sure why that is.
