@stevekrouse
Script
Human Alive-ness API It works by querying Wikidata via SPARQL to search for birth and death dates of a person. Requires an exact name match. It will throw if it can't find results. It will return true if every match has a birth date and not a death date. (It will return false if a match does not have a birth date, because we assume that to mean they are a historical figure whose birthdate we don't know.) @stevekrouse.alive("Henry Kissinger") // true (for now) You can view some example usages / tests here: https://www.val.town/v/stevekrouse.aliveTests
