Nobel Prizes by Year Range and Category, with Laureates and Motivations

nobelprize/search-nobel-prizes

Nobel Prizes for an award year or a range of years, optionally for one category: the date awarded, the prize amount and adjusted amount, the overall motivation where there is one, and each laureate's id, name, share of the prize and motivation. Shorter records than the laureate search; use that tool for birth details and affiliations. Returns up to 25 prizes per call, paged with offset. Nobel Prize data (CC0) passed through unmodified and served by Eden Engine; not an official Nobel Prize product.
