Met Museum API
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's full collection records, with object metadata and open-access images. It offers a keyless public API, so collection data can be searched directly from this site without any account. Useful for art-historical research or for sourcing openly licensed images of museum objects. Probes currently rate it degraded, so responses may be inconsistent.
Por qué es útil y cómo funciona
The Met's open collection is the destination when you need art-historical records or openly licensed high-resolution images of museum objects. Its public API is keyless, meaning Echo can query collection data directly without any account or sign-up. You search by keyword, filter by medium, culture, or date, and open-access works come with high-resolution downloads licensed under CC0. Note that response times may be inconsistent at present.
Qué contiene
Over 492,000 works in the online collection, with more than 406,000 open-access images of public-domain artworks spanning 5,000 years of art from around the world.
