I am currently trying to make a ModCreator. A simple GUI interface, that beginners or people who cannot code can create simple mods. Now I need to download the MDK from the forge-website, but it's currently hard-coded into the code and the user cant select the forge version. I saw that there is a version_manifest.json for minecraft itself. Is there something similar for forge?

No, but you might want to talk to the Multi-MC people about how they allow users to install different forge versions

Versions below 1.14.4 are no longer supported on this forum. Use the latest version to receive support.

When asking support remember to include all relevant log files (logs are found in .minecraft/logs/), code if applicable and screenshots if possible.

Only download mods from trusted sites like CurseForge (minecraft.curseforge.com). A list of bad sites can be found here, with more information available at stopmodreposts.org

Dont do this.

First off modders need to know the basics, and if they cant download a zip, and extract it they shouldn't be modding.

Secondly, automated downloads of Forge is discouraged because the main source of revinue for Forge to pay our server costs and the like is the ads on the download page.
