# Launchpad API > Live project, people and release data from Launchpad, Canonical's open-source collaboration platform and the home of Ubuntu, via its public REST API. Launchpad is built around free-software projects, the teams that maintain them and the people in those teams. Get a project's profile — its title and summary, homepage, the licences it is released under, when it was registered and whether it tracks bugs, answers and translations on Launchpad. Resolve any Launchpad name to a person or a team, with its display name, whether it is a team, when it joined and its self-description. Pull a team's membership — the people and sub-teams that make up an open-source community. Get a project's released versions with their dates. Live, no key, nothing stored. Distinct from GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg and SourceForge forge APIs — this is Launchpad's project registry, its teams and its people. Perfect for open-source-directory, packaging, release-tracking and developer-community apps. ## Authentication All requests require your oanor API key in the `x-oanor-key` header.
