The Launchpad web service is currently in a limited beta, open to Launchpad's beta testers.
Most users will be happy with launchpadlib, the official Python client library for Launchpad's web service.
>>> print launchpad.users['sabdfl'].display_name Mark Shuttleworth
Users who aren't Python programmers, or who are interested in the inner workings of the web service, should read the hacking document.

Host: api.edge.launchpad.net
Content-type: application/json
{ "display_name" : "My new display name" }200 OK
If you're writing your own interface to Launchpad, you'll need to know how Oauth works. Signing Requests explains how to walk your end-users through the process of getting a set of OAuth credentials that you can use to make Launchpad web service requests on their behalf.
