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.

SourceForge API
Live project, release and download data from SourceForge, the original open-source software forge and download host. Unlike a git forge, SourceForge is built around distributing release binaries to the world, so its signature data is who downloads what, from where. Get a project's profile — its name, summary, status, creation date, homepage, the categories it is filed under and its developer count. Pull the download statistics for a date range — the total, the daily series and the breakdown by operating system. See where in the world a project is downloaded, the per-country download counts that no git forge exposes. Get the project's best current release with its file, version, size and date, plus the recommended download for Windows, macOS and Linux. Live, no key, nothing stored. Distinct from GitHub, GitLab and Codeberg git-forge APIs and from package registries — this is SourceForge's project directory and its global download analytics. Perfect for software-directory, release-tracking, download-analytics and developer apps.

Open Collective API
Live funding-transparency data from Open Collective, the platform where open-source projects, mutual-aid groups and communities raise and spend money in the open. Every collective shows its real finances: get a project's profile with its current balance, the total it has ever raised, its contributor and backer counts, currency and start date. Pull the people and organizations funding it, each with how much they have given in total and since when. Read the live money flow — every contribution and payment with its type, amount, description, counterparty and time. See what a collective pays out — each expense with its amount, payee, type and approval status. Live, no key, nothing stored. Distinct from GitHub, developer and social-profile APIs — this is the money side of a community: who funds it, what it holds, and how it spends. Perfect for open-source-funding, sponsorship, transparency, community and analytics apps.

Codeberg API
Live profile and repository data from Codeberg as an API — the community-run, Forgejo-powered git host and a leading open-source alternative to GitHub. Look up any user or organisation for their profile and social reach (followers, following, starred repositories, join date, location and website), open any repository for its stats (stars, forks, watchers, open issues, primary language, size and dates), or search Codeberg's repositories ranked by stars. The git-forge community layer for developer, social and dashboard apps. Live, no key, no cache. Distinct from GitHub and GitLab APIs and from package-registry APIs — this is the Codeberg platform's own community and project data.

Bitbucket API
Read Bitbucket Cloud in real time — no token, no OAuth. Look up any public repository by "workspace/slug" for its full detail (description, language, size, fork policy, mainbranch, timestamps) and pull its commits, branches, tags, pull requests, watchers, forks and file tree (browse any directory at any branch/tag/commit). Inspect any workspace profile and list its public repositories. Pass repo as "workspace/slug" (or a bitbucket.org URL). Every call is live (no cache) and returns the upstream Bitbucket 2.0 shape, paginated with page + pagelen (max 100). 11 endpoints. Calls are routed through a rotating residential proxy so per-IP rate limits never bite. The sibling of our GitHub and GitLab APIs — built for dev dashboards, OSS analytics and repo monitoring across the Atlassian ecosystem. No upstream token, no cache.

GitLab API
Read GitLab.com in real time — no token, no OAuth. Look up any public project by numeric id or "group/name" path for its full detail (stars, forks, open issues, default branch, visibility, license, topics, timestamps) and pull its commits, branches, tags, releases, issues, merge requests, language breakdown, members and decoded README. Look up any user, list a user's public projects, inspect any group and its projects, and search public projects by keyword with sort + order. Pass project as a numeric id, a "group/name" path or a gitlab.com URL. Every call is live (no cache) and returns the upstream GitLab REST v4 shape, paginated with page + per_page (max 100). 16 endpoints. Calls are routed through a rotating residential proxy so per-IP rate limits never bite. Built for dev dashboards, OSS analytics, CI/CD tooling and repo monitoring across the GitLab ecosystem — the sibling of our GitHub API. No upstream token, no cache.

GitHub API
Read GitHub in real time — no token, no OAuth. Look up any repository by owner/name for its full detail (stars, forks, watchers, open issues, language, license, topics, default branch, timestamps) and pull its commits, contributors, language breakdown, releases, branches, tags, open/closed issues and decoded README. Look up any user or organization profile, list a user's repositories, and run GitHub search across repositories, users and issues/PRs with sort and order. Pass repo as "owner/name" (or a github.com URL). Every call is live (no cache) and returns the upstream GitHub REST shape, paginated with page + per_page (max 100). 16 endpoints. The unauthenticated GitHub limit is 60 requests/hour per IP — this service routes every call through a rotating residential proxy, so each request gets a fresh budget and you are not rate-limited. Built for dev dashboards, OSS analytics, dependency and supply-chain tooling, and repo monitoring. No upstream token, no cache.

Software Licenses API
The full SPDX License List as an API — all 729 software licenses with metadata and the complete license text for each. Look up any license by its SPDX id (e.g. MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL-3.0-only, MPL-2.0) and get the exact, canonical license text plus its name, reference URL, see-also links and standard header. Search or list licenses by name/id and filter by OSI-approved (Open Source Initiative), FSF-libre (Free Software Foundation) or deprecated status. Ideal for SBOM / license-compliance tooling, package managers, repository scanners, legal review, and open-source governance dashboards.
