You can access all of the Original LDraw Part files and the LDraw.org Parts Library directly via the information on this page. This service is intended to be used primarily by client-side software, to keep installed part libraries updated, or to render images which include parts that are not installed locally.

Obtaining the Entire Official Library
Download the complete library package found in the download database [3] under the heading Core Files and Libraries [4]

Retrieving Individual Files
Individual links are not provided for library files. Instead, you can retrieve any file from the library by using the URL form:

http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/<filepath>

Where <filepath> specifies the directory and name of the file within the LDraw library. For example, to retrieve the current version of the 2x4 brick, use this URL:

http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/parts/3001.dat

How to retrieve multiple files simultaneously:
We are working on a CGI program that will allow you to easily retrieve multiple files in one request.

How to get only the latest Official files:
We are also working on providing the information you need to grab just the files that are not on your local system.
