# European Parliament API > The European Parliament as an API, powered by the official European Parliament Open Data portal (data.europarl.europa.eu). Track the EU's directly-elected legislature: list the Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) for any parliamentary term — term 10 is the current 2024-2029 Parliament — with pagination; read an individual MEP's profile including their full name, country of representation, gender, contact email, official photo and place of birth, together with their committee, political-group and delegation memberships split into current and past, each with the role held (member, chair, vice-chair, …) and start/end dates; and browse the Parliament's corporate bodies — its standing and special committees (such as ECON, ENVI, LIBE), political groups and inter-parliamentary delegations — with their id, acronym, label and type. The organization id that appears in an MEP's memberships matches a corporate body, so you can resolve exactly which committee or group a member sits on. Ideal for civic-tech and transparency tools, political research and journalism, lobbying and public-affairs monitoring, and EU-policy analytics. MEP ids come from the MEPs endpoint.
