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.
Son utilité et son fonctionnement
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.
Ce qu’elle contient
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.
