About the Nobel Prizes API

Nobel Prizes works by analyzing the data provided and returning information on various Nobel Prizes. It uses various sources to determine the information on Nobel Prizes and returns the data.

Ways to call it

One endpoint, many ways in — REST with JSON, XML, YAML and CSV, plus GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents.

JSON: Default REST response
XML: Markup format
YAML: Human-readable
CSV: Tabular export
GraphQL: Query language
MCP: For AI agents

Other ways to use Nobel Prizes

Same data, same APIVerve account, same credit balance — one key works on all of them.

Common questions about the Nobel Prizes API.

What does the Nobel Prizes API do?

Nobel Prizes is a simple tool for getting information on Nobel Prizes. It returns information on various Nobel Prizes.

How do I authenticate Nobel Prizes API requests?

Pass your API key in the x-api-key header over HTTPS. One key works across all 300+ APIVerve APIs — there are no per-endpoint credentials.

How much does the Nobel Prizes API cost?

Each call spends 2 credits from your shared pool. The free tier includes 200 credits every month, and paid plans add more headroom.

How fast is the Nobel Prizes API?

Response time depends on the endpoint — the p50 through p99 latency for this API is published on this page. Requests are served over HTTPS through a global edge network.

What response formats does the Nobel Prizes API support?

JSON by default, plus XML and YAML via the format parameter. GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents are available across the catalog.

What HTTP method does the Nobel Prizes API use?

GET over HTTPS, following standard REST conventions with a consistent { status, error, data } response envelope.

Request parameters — GET /v1/nobelprizes

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.

Optional

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`firstname`Optional	string	`Albert`	The first name of the Nobel Prize winner to get information about
`lastname`Optional	string	`Einstein`	The last name of the Nobel Prize winner to get information about
`category`Optional	string	`Physics`	The category of the Nobel Prize to get information about `PhysicsChemistryMedicineLiteraturePeaceEconomics`
`year`OptionalPremium	integer	`1921`	The year of the Nobel Prize to get information about range 1901-2030

Example request

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/nobelprizes?firstname=Albert&lastname=Einstein&category=Physics&year=1921" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Header	When	Value
`x-api-key`Required	Every request	Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so `X-API-Key` is the same header.
`Authorization`Alternate	Instead of the above	`Bearer <key>` — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing.

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Response — GET /v1/nobelprizes

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Sample response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "count": 1,
    "filteredOn": [
      "firstName",
      "lastName",

    "nobelPrizes": [

        "firstName": "Albert",
        "lastName": "Einstein",
        "born": "1879-03-14",

        "gender": "male",
        "year": "1921",
        "category": "Physics",
        "motivation": "for his services to Theoretical Physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect",
        "organization": "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut (now Max-Planck-Institut) für Physik",
        "organizationCity": "Berlin",
        "organizationCountry": "Germany"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`count`	number	`1`	Total number of Nobel Prize winners matching the criteria
`filteredOn`	array	`[firstName, ...]`	List of filter fields applied to the query results
`nobelPrizes`	array[1]		Array of Nobel Prize winner records with complete biographical data
`firstName`	string	`"Albert"`	First name of the Nobel Prize winner
`lastName`	string	`"Einstein"`	Last name of the Nobel Prize winner
`born`Premium	string	`"1879-03-14"`	Birth date in YYYY-MM-DD format
`died`Premium	string	`"1955-04-18"`	Death date in YYYY-MM-DD format or null
`countryborn`Premium	string	`"Germany"`	Country name where the laureate was born
`countrybornCode`Premium	string	`"DE"`	ISO country code of birth country (two letters)
`born city`Premium	string	`"Ulm"`	City or town where laureate was born
`diedCountry`Premium	string	`"USA"`	Country name where the laureate died
`diedCountryCode`Premium	string	`"US"`	ISO country code of death country (two letters)
`diedCity`Premium	string	`"Princeton NJ"`	City or town where laureate died
`gender`Premium	string	`"male"`	Gender of the Nobel Prize winner
`year`	string	`"1921"`	Year the Nobel Prize was awarded
`category`	string	`"Physics"`	Nobel Prize category (Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, Peace, Economics)
`motivation`Premium	string	`"for his services to Theoretical Physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect"`	Official Nobel Prize motivation citation explaining the award
`organization`Premium	string	`"Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut (now Max-Planck-Institut) für Physik"`	Organization or institution affiliated with the laureate
`organizationCity`Premium	string	`"Berlin"`	City where the affiliated organization is located
`organizationCountry`Premium	string	`"Germany"`	Country where the affiliated organization is located

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Header	What it carries
`x-api-remaining-credits`	Credits left in the current cycle
`x-api-credits-used`	Credits spent in the current cycle
`x-api-max-credits`	The allowance for the cycle
`x-api-version`	Version of the endpoint that answered

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter that has to change.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted here	A key restriction or an IP allow-list — never a bad key.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart, then back off or top up.

What a call costs — 2 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Plan	Per month	Credits	Nobel Prizes calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	100	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	100,000	$0.30
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	500,000	$0.20
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	2,000,000	$0.15

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.
