Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checked community attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps read the docs at metmuseum.github.io — no api key or authentication is required, and the base url is collectionapi.metmuseum.org/public/collection/v1 call GET /search?q={query} optionally adding hasImages=true or departmentId to narrow results; this returns an array of matching objectIDs only call GET /departments to look up valid departmentId values before filtering a search for each objectID of interest, call GET /objects/{objectID} to fetch the full record, including primaryImage and primaryImageSmall URLs check isPublicDomain=true before treating an object's image as freely reusable under CC0
Known gotchas search returns only bare objectIDs, not full records — a second call per object is required to get images or metadata not all objects have images even when isPublicDomain is true; check that primaryImage is a non-empty string before using it there is no published rate limit or key requirement, but batch requests conservatively since there is no formal SLA
