Open data

Everything we publish on the site comes out of a handful of data files. Here they are as they stand, in JSON and with no sign-up, so you can check any figure we quote, reuse it, or build on it.

These files are published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence. You may copy, redistribute, transform and build upon them, commercially too, on one condition: credit 18xx.cat with a link to https://18xx.cat.

What the licence does not cover: game names, trademarks, artwork and rulebooks, which belong to their authors and publishers; the cover images, which are linked from third-party servers; and play and player data, which belongs to 18xx.games and Ludoya and is not distributed here.

For automated systems

The dataset index is at /dades/index.json. Every file is served with Content-Type: application/json and Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, and carries a common header with its generation date, source and licence.

Also: the site index in plain text is at /llms.txt, the full map at /mapa, the sitemap at /sitemap.xml, and every page carries schema.org structured data in its head.

Stability

These file addresses and field names will be kept. If one has to change, the new field will be added alongside the old one before the old one is retired. The data is regenerated on every request from the same files the site itself uses, so it never lags behind what the pages show.
