Launchpad web services API

The Launchpad website lets you learn about and manage bugs, projects, questions, and other artifacts of software development. These same objects are gradually being exposed through a web service, so that you can access them from scripts, applications, or other websites, in addition to accessing them through the Launchpad website.

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.

   >>> me = launchpad.users['my-username']
   >>> me.display_name = 'My new display name'
   >>> me.lp_save()
  • Users who aren't Python programmers, or who are interested in the inner workings of the web service, should read the hacking document.

   PATCH /beta/+me HTTP/1.1
   Host: api.edge.launchpad.net
   Content-type: application/json

   { "display_name" : "My new display name" }
  • 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.

  • Everyone will appreciate the reference documentation. (link forthcoming)
