API
A free JSON API for Tom Sharman's record. No key, CORS open, CC BY 4.0 with a link back.
Updated 2026-10-25
Static JSON, rebuilt with the site. No key and no rate limit. Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *. Licensed CC BY 4.0: quote it and use it, with a link back to the page the fact came from. Every response carries license, attribution and generated.
Which endpoints are there?

|---|---|
| /api/meta.json | Counts, the generated date, the licence and this list |

| /api/channels.json | Every channel: videos and views in the tracker, subscribers where fetched, who they are |
| /api/career.json | 38 roles: organisation, role, dates, evidence |
| /api/numbers.json | The quotable numbers, each with its evidence grade and note |
| /api/playbooks.json | 7 playbooks, 49 principles, with page, markdown and animation URLs |
| /api/lessons.json | The lessons: question, one line answer, page |
| /api/events.json | Upcoming appearances, past dates dropped |

| /api/entity-map.json | Typed entities and sourced relations |
What changes, and when?
Fields are added, never renamed or removed without a new endpoint. Numbers move as the production tracker updates; generated says when.
Is there anything live?
Two things, both on the same origin: /mcp, the MCP server (Streamable HTTP, read only), and /ask/api, Tom Sharman AI, which has daily limits. See for agents.
