API

API for accessing Drupal.org open source project and ecosystem data

Overview

The Drupal.org API provides RESTful endpoints to retrieve data about Drupal open source projects (modules, themes, distributions), user contributions, issue tracking, release details, and community activity. Responses are JSON-formatted. Use cases include building custom project monitoring dashboards, integrating ecosystem data into third-party tools, automating issue workflow tasks, analyzing contribution trends, or fetching specific project versions/release notes. It supports filtering, sorting, and pagination for efficient data retrieval.
