Example prompt: Who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 2022 and what was their motivation? Can you pull up the full laureate details including prize share and any Wikipedia links?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, detail-rich Nobel Prize data including laureate shares, motivations, prize amounts, and biographical details. It supports filtering by year (1901+), category (physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, peace, economics), or laureate name, making it ideal for research, trivia, education, or knowledge graph enrichment tasks. Prefer this over general web search when you need clean, machine-readable Nobel data rather than prose summaries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or pre-1901 year returns an empty result or error
- Misspelled laureate names may return no matches
- Unsupported category strings outside the six valid categories return no results
- No data found for the query returns count of 0 and empty prizes array
- API unavailable returns HTTP error or timeout

## How this service works

## Output

Also includes a count of items returned, what was matched, the data source, and any relevant notes or caveats.
