Nobel Prize API and Linked Data

Nobel Prize API and Linked Data

The Nobel Prize API and Linked Data service (Nobel Prize Outreach) provides JSON/CSV access to Nobel Prize and laureate records, plus RDF/SPARQL. The terms of use say: "The Services are free to use according to the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license." and "There is no obligation to register in order to use the API".

Coverage

All Nobel Prizes and laureates (persons and organisations) since 1901, via JSON/CSV API v2.1 plus RDF/SPARQL; updated as nobelprize.org is updated, including at prize announcements. Record counts beyond "since 1901": Not stated.

Verdict

A keyless JSON/CSV API (v2.1) plus RDF/SPARQL for Nobel Prize and laureate records since 1901. The terms ask integrations to be considerate of load: "Applications shall be constructed in a manner which minimizes the capacity burden of the API." Trademarks and endorsement are restricted: applications "may not use Nobel Prize Outreach’s name, logos, or other trademarks in their titles or logos, or in any way that implies endorsement, sponsorship, or false association with Nobel Prize Outreach or any other association within the Nobel Foundation’s sphere." Citing the Services as the data source is encouraged but not required. Signal Lab links only.
