# 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. ## Authentication All requests require your oanor API key in the `x-oanor-key` header.
