How to cite

How to cite RobotsDataset

One rule: two links and a date. A link to RobotsDataset, a link to the page of the record the value came from, and the observation date. That is what lets a reader check the number.

In prose

Every API response carries a ready-made attribution string you can paste verbatim:

Data from [RobotsDataset](https://robotsdataset.com). See [<record name>](https://robotsdataset.com/datasets/auto_service_sofia/entities/<slug>) (observed dates on the page).

Writing it yourself: “Data from RobotsDataset; see <record name> (<record URL>), observed <observed_at>.”

Academic

RobotsDataset (2026). <dataset title> [data set]. https://robotsdataset.com/datasets/<slug>
Value observed <observed_at>; retrieved <date>.

@misc{robotsdataset_<slug>,
  author = {RobotsDataset},
  title  = {<dataset title>},
  year   = {2026},
  url    = {https://robotsdataset.com/datasets/<slug>},
  note   = {Value observed <observed_at>}
}

For AI agents

The rule is the first thing in /llms.txt: cite with the attribution string and quote observed_at. Never invent URLs — every record has exactly one address, and the API returns it.

Indices and reports

Reports (e.g. the KZP basket price index) are cited with the report page and the date of its latest period; the CSV carries the base period in its header row.

What not to do

• Publish a value without its date — prices change daily.
• Present the data as the primary source — the primary source is the one source_url points to.
