Data & API

RoboZaps maintains a source-backed robot database. Each sourced specification records its source and, where available, a verification tier and confidence score. The data ships in two layers.

Verification methodology

RoboZaps keeps the displayed value, its supporting evidence, and its freshness separate. A linked source alone does not make an entire robot record verified.

Verified
Every usable current specification has linked evidence and a recorded verification date.
Partially verified
At least one current specification is sourced or checked, but the record is not fully evidenced.
Unverified
No usable current specification has linked evidence; unsourced values remain visible as unverified.
Conflicting
A current specification has a contradiction flag. Differing public values are also shown as conflicting at the field level; no conflict is silently resolved.

Prices are shown only from a sourced, checked list-price observation or from a verified record; otherwise they are shown as “Price not publicly disclosed.” Freshness is tracked separately: records checked more than 180 days ago are classified as stale, while records without a check date remain unknown.

Two access layers

  • Headline layer — no key

    Identity, deployment stage, price ranges, and headline specs (height, weight, payload, speed, battery, DoF, reach) via the list endpoint and keyless per-robot detail. Licensed under the RoboZaps Data Terms below.

  • Depth layer and bulk exports — free API key

    Full normalized specs with per-spec source links, verification tiers, and confidence scores, plus deployment evidence, readiness scores, and the bulk dataset downloads. Licensed under the RoboZaps Data Terms below.

Data paths by buyer

The useful dataset differs for a team comparing vendors, an investor mapping a market, a manufacturer correcting a listing, and a researcher building a citable analysis.

Procurement teams

Build a defensible shortlist with comparable specifications, price observations, deployment evidence, and vendor questions.

Investors & analysts

Map manufacturers and categories, review commercial-readiness signals, and monitor changes across a portfolio or market segment.

Manufacturers

Review how your products are represented, submit source-backed corrections, and discuss verified data feeds for your catalogue.

Manage manufacturer data

Researchers

Start with the keyless headline data, then add a free API key when your analysis needs current field-level provenance.

Endpoints

All endpoints are read-only and allow cross-origin requests. Keyless endpoints are cached for one hour and rate-limited to 60 requests per hour per IP. Keyed access allows 500 detail requests and 5 dataset exports per day per key — enough to evaluate the data; talk to us about anything heavier. Send your key as the x-api-key header (query-string keys are rejected).

  • /api/v1/robots

    List of published robots (headline fields). Query params: manufacturer, stage, verification, limit (max 25), offset. Keyless, rate-limited.

  • /api/v1/robots/<slug>

    Per-robot detail. Without a key: headline layer (identity + headline specs). With a free API key: full depth layer — every current spec with its source link, verification tier, and confidence score, plus deployment evidence and readiness.

  • /api/v1/dataset.json

    The published catalog in one JSON document: identity plus headline specs per robot. Requires a free API key.

  • /api/v1/dataset.csv

    The published catalog as CSV — one row per robot with core fields and common spec columns. Requires a free API key.

Licenses & terms

All layers are licensed under the RoboZaps Data Terms: attribution required, internal and research use welcome, replication, bulk redistribution, or resale of the corpus prohibited. Keys may be revoked for abuse. Every price is an observed list or asking price with source and date, not an offer.
