Nobel Prize vs Open Data Minneapolis
The official Nobel Prize API serves structured, keyless JSON on every laureate, prize category, and award year back to 1901, including prize amounts (nominal and inflation-adjusted) and links between related records. A live query against api.nobelprize.org/2.1/nobelPrizes needs no key and returns a wildcard Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, so it's directly callable from browser code.
Open Data Minneapolis is the city's ArcGIS Hub portal, publishing GIS layers and non-spatial datasets — from 311 service requests to crime incidents — as a standard Esri Hub site. Its DCAT-US JSON feed and Hub search API expose the full catalogue for machine consumption at no cost and without a key.
