NameBase CSV dump

NameBase is a cumulative index of the names of individuals, corporations, and groups compiled from 800 investigative books published since 1962, and thousands of pages from periodicals since 1973. Areas covered include the international intelligence community, political elites from the Right and Left, the U.S. foreign policy establishment, assassinations and political scandals, Latin America, big business, and organized crime.

See this page for a list of sources.

A CSV dump of all names in NameBase, with linking data, is available for your use. But it should not be used to crawl our site. Except for a handful of major search engines, we block any IP number that fetches more than a few hundred pages per day. You need a multiple-machine registration before you can use this list for crawling.
