  PyPI (pypi.org/pypi/<pkg>/json), npm (registry.npmjs.org), and the Go module proxy
  (proxy.golang.org/<module>/@latest) queried 2026-09-05, cross-checked against the
  canonical/ and juju/ GitHub organizations and the Canonical product documentation.

description: >-
  First-party client libraries, operator frameworks and front-end component packages published by
  Canonical for its API surfaces. Canonical is an open-source company: nearly every client here is
  the same code the company ships in Ubuntu, so the "SDK" and the product are frequently the same
  artifact. Registry currency (version + published date) was read from each registry's own metadata
  endpoint, never from prose.
packages:
  - name: launchpadlib
    registry: pypi
    url: https://pypi.org/project/launchpadlib/
    language: python
    official: true
    api: canonical:launchpad-api
    version: 2.1.0
    published: '2025-01-16'
    repository: https://git.launchpad.net/launchpadlib

      documentation names it as the supported client. Handles the OAuth 1.0a dance against

    registry: pypi
    url: https://pypi.org/project/lazr.restfulclient/
    language: python
    official: true
    api: canonical:launchpad-api
    version: 4.0.0
    published: '2026-08-01'
    note: The generic WADL-driven REST client layer that launchpadlib is built on. Canonical-maintained.
  - name: pylxd
    registry: pypi
    url: https://pypi.org/project/pylxd/
    language: python
    official: true
    api: canonical:lxd-rest-api
    version: 2.4.2
    published: '2026-08-18'
    repository: https://github.com/canonical/pylxd
    note: First-party Python bindings for the LXD REST API, in the canonical/ GitHub organization.
  - name: github.com/canonical/lxd/client
    registry: go
    url: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/canonical/lxd/client

    published: '2026-09-04'
    repository: https://github.com/canonical/lxd
    note: >-
      The Go client shipped inside the LXD source tree — the reference implementation of the
      rest-api.yaml contract. The module publishes no semver tags on the proxy, so the latest
      resolvable version is a pseudo-version pinned to the 2026-09-04 commit.

    api: canonical:snap-store-api
    version: 4.8.1

    note: >-
      STALE ON PyPI: the PyPI distribution stopped at 4.8.1 (2021-06-09). Snapcraft is not abandoned —
      Canonical moved distribution to the snap itself (`snap install snapcraft --classic`), which has
      no PyPI metadata endpoint. Read the PyPI date as "this channel was retired", not "the tool died".
