For researchers and builders
Source Graph API
A read-only public source graph for citation, downstream tools, researchers, builders, and media workflows that need stable Observatory records instead of scraped page copy.
- Read-only v1
- Citation-ready
- Public fields only
Released so far
Nothing has been released through the API yet. Dossiers, money trails and jurisdictions will appear in their endpoints as they are released; until then, those endpoints answer with an empty list.
Dossier pages
Every research topic has a page of its own on this site. Until its dossier is released, a page is editorial: we write and maintain it while the evidence behind it is reviewed. Once released, the dossier also gets a machine-readable record in the API.

Endpoints
Every endpoint is public and read-only. Briefs and sources list what has been approved for publication. Dossiers, money trails and jurisdictions list what has been released, so while nothing is, they answer with an empty list. The index, the schema and the feeds work either way.

Example request

Every public object is allowlisted, source-backed where possible, and framed with confidence or unresolved questions. Private notes, reviewer fields, and raw workflow details stay out of the API.
