Derived rollups sit under /data/derived/, and each monthly change log is /data/changes/YYYY-MM.json -- split into YYYY-MM.2.json, YYYY-MM.3.json, and so on for a month with more entries than fit in one file, each a JSON array of the same shape; concatenate them for the full month. All files under /data/ allow cross-origin requests and are cached for an hour.

License and attribution

This dataset is built from three open sources. Each has its own terms, and they apply to the matching fields in the files above. This is a plain-language summary, not legal advice; read the linked licenses for the exact terms.

Wikidata, CC0 1.0. Venue and organization identifiers, coordinates, capacity, opened year and other structured facts. No attribution is required. The wikidata_qid column lets you trace any row back to its item.
Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0. Facts read from article infoboxes and cited passages, marked by the confidence levels wikipedia_infobox and wikipedia_cited. If you reuse them you must credit Wikipedia and its contributors, link to the license, say if you changed anything, and share your derived work under the same or a compatible license. Each venue row carries the article title (wikipedia_title) and revision id (wikipedia_revid) it was read from.
OpenStreetMap, ODbL 1.0. Where OSM data is present (the osm_id column; 0 venues in this export), you must credit "© OpenStreetMap contributors", state that the data is available under the ODbL, and keep any database you build from it under the ODbL as well. See openstreetmap.org/copyright.

The safe course for the combined files is to credit all three sources and to license anything you build from them under terms compatible with CC BY-SA 4.0 and the ODbL. Suggested credit line: Venue Data (https://venues-site.pages.dev), built from Wikidata (CC0), Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0) and OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).

Feeds

Feeds list the newest dated venue names and naming-rights deals, newest first. They are built from the dated name records, so a name with no known start date is not in the feed.

Atom feed, the latest 50 name changes worldwide
RSS feed, the same items
Per-country Atom feeds at /feeds/country/<iso2>.atom.xml for 47 countries with at least three dated names, for example AR
