About this tool

This browses the complete, official record of Nobel Prize laureates going back to 1901, pulled live from the free, public Nobel Prize API (api.nobelprize.org) maintained by the Nobel Foundation itself. Filter by category, Chemistry, Economic Sciences, Literature, Physiology or Medicine, Peace, or Physics, and by year, or leave both open to page through every laureate ever awarded. Each card shows the laureate's name, the year and category of their award, and the official motivation text explaining why they won.

How to use it:

  1. Optionally pick a category and/or type a year.
  2. Click "Apply filters", or leave both blank to browse everyone.
  3. Use the Previous/Next buttons to page through the results.

Tip: combine a category and a year to jump straight to, say, the 2016 Physics laureates.

Where does this data come from?

Directly from api.nobelprize.org, the Nobel Foundation's own free, public, keyless API, no data is stored, cached, or made up by this tool; every card reflects a live API response.

Does it include organizations that won the Peace Prize?

Yes, the Nobel Peace Prize is sometimes awarded to organizations rather than individuals (like the United Nations or the Red Cross), and those appear in the results the same way individual laureates do, using their organization name.

Why does one laureate sometimes appear more than once?

A very small number of people have won a Nobel Prize more than once (like Marie Curie, in Physics and Chemistry), each award they received shows up as its own card.

Is this tool affiliated with the Nobel Foundation?

No, this is an independent tool that simply queries the Nobel Foundation's public API and displays the results. It isn't produced, reviewed, or endorsed by the Nobel Foundation.
