For researchers, developers, and museum teams working with collection APIs, get help turning endpoint documentation into usable requests. Map fields and filters to a research question, compare records across institutions, or write sample code for fetching and handling results. Leave with a query plan, code examples, or a field comparison you can adapt to the API you’re using.

What it writes

  • Collection API query plan
  • Python or JavaScript request example
  • Cross-collection field comparison table

How to use it

Include the API name, endpoint documentation or a sample response, your exact search goal, and your preferred programming language. Mention pagination or rate limits if the docs list them.

What you bring

  • API documentation or endpoint examples
  • Research question and desired fields
  • Programming language, if you need code
  • Access to the API documentation
  • API key for restricted endpoints

A good fit for

  • Finding objects by artist, date range, material, or accession number
  • Comparing metadata fields across two museum collection APIs
  • Building a script to fetch records from a documented collection endpoint

Ways to start

A few requests this Agent can handle.

I’m using the Smithsonian Open Access API and want paintings by Jacob Lawrence from 1940 to 1960. Help me identify query parameters and build a Python request.

Here are the endpoint fields for two museum APIs. Which ones can I compare to study how each records object materials and dates?

Write a JavaScript example that fetches 100 records from this collection endpoint, handles pagination, and keeps each object’s title, creator, and identifier.

Good to know

  • Retrieving live collection records or checking current API status
  • Choosing objects based on images you cannot describe
  • Legal advice on image rights or reuse
  • Cannot call APIs, browse documentation, or verify live responses
  • Code examples depend on the endpoint details you paste
