Prolific
Prolific is an online research participant recruitment platform that connects researchers and AI teams with a large, vetted pool of human participants for surveys, experiments, and data annotation. The Prolific API is a versioned REST interface (https://api.prolific.com/api/v1) authenticated with an API token that lets researchers programmatically create and publish studies, review and approve submissions, manage participant groups, projects and workspaces, apply demographic filters and requirements, pay bonuses, message participants, and subscribe to event webhooks (hooks).
Prolific publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Bonuses API, Filters API, Hooks API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Research, Participant Recruitment, Surveys, Human Data, and Crowdsourcing.
Prolific’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.
