World Wide Public API

Read World Wide’s public listings from the server behind your website, research tool or institutional service.

Available data

The v1 API provides read access to fields (the domains endpoint), seminars, talks, lectures, jobs, grants, ePosters, conferences, workshops and podcast episodes, including conference sessions and posters.

Responses contain public records. Private account data and submission tools are outside this API.

Base URL: https://world-wide.org/api/v1

Access and authentication

Each integration needs a registered service credential for the api:public-read audience with public_api.read permission. Send it in the Authorization: Bearer header. A World Wide sign-in session cannot be used as a v1 credential. Keep the token on your server, outside browser code and URLs.

Set WW_SERVICE_TOKEN in your server environment, then make a first request:

curl --fail-with-body 'https://world-wide.org/api/v1/domains?includeCounts=false' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WW_SERVICE_TOKEN"

The API is read-only. The reference also covers the separate JSON/CSV data export at /api/data/output, request limits and errors. Uploads and submissions use the website’s account-bound tools.

For a calendar subscription, use the links on the calendar. Public RSS feeds are available for seminars and jobs; these do not need a service credential.
