Nobel Prize vs Umeå Open Data
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.
Umeå's open-data portal runs on the OpenDataSoft platform, publishing the Swedish city's GIS, transit, and municipal datasets through the standard ODS Explore v2.1 API. Every dataset can be queried, filtered, and exported as JSON, CSV, or GeoJSON with no authentication required for public data.
