Norse World REST-API is one of 9 APIs that [Uppsala University](https://apis.io/providers/uppsala/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research, Linked Data, GeoJSON, JSON-LD, and REST. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The Norse World REST-API, part of the Norse World research infrastructure at Uppsala University's Department of Scandinavian Languages, provides access to attestation and location records of foreign place names in medieval Nordic texts. Endpoints (getAttestationAPI.php and getLocationAPI.php) return data as JSON, GeoJSON, or JSON-LD via a ?format= parameter and are usable directly from a URL or GIS tools.
