Dataset(s) of award-winning fiction?

I have been going through recipients of the Hugo and Nebula Awards in order to add items to my To Be Read lists/library holds/Kobo wishlist/etc. recently and I was curious if anybody knows if this information is available in any kind of structured manner. If not, would there be any interest in it?

I threw together a little scraper today for the Hugo Awards website which looks sufficient for my own needs, though it does tend to err on authors with commas in their names. Since I am just going through the output by hand, I'm willing to put up with the usual “Jr.” or “PhD” in someone's name, and meanwhile I find it very convenient to be able to sort and filter by year, by category, by winner/nominee, and so on.

If there is any interest in this, I would be more than happy to share the scraped output, and also put together a scraper for the Nebula – or possibly other – awards, too.

Thanks a lot for this. Saved me a ton of effort.

You might want to take a look at the Science Fiction Awards Database.

And for details of the book editions themselves I usually turn to the Internet Speculative Fiction Database.
