I'm trying to download the libraries required by forge but there is no URL documented anywhere.

For instance:

The libraries should have been installed when you installed forge?

Those libraries are downloaded by the mojang launcher from the mojang servers.

I'll give you more context, I'm a developer for CounterCraft and we are working on a custom launcher for the game but we can't figure out where to download the forge libraries from

Don't make a custom launcher.

 

If you really want to make a custom launcher, do it like the Twitch/Curse launcher: manage the profiles in there, when you press "Play", open the official Minecraft launcher with a profile and let the official launcher do the work.

The issue is now fixed, I just grabbed the libs from technic and shoved them in a zip but thanks for all your help anyway.

And this kids is how NOT to do things. Mojang has explicitly asked that people do NOT make launchers which have users input their credentials into. Stop doing that.

You don't enter any credentials into it, it just downloads the mod and libaries

How does the user log in? Do you launch the official launcher?

They don't login to their minecraft account, it uses steam authentication.
