Steps request a free API key at harvardartmuseums.org/collections/api — every request requires it review the endpoint reference in the api-docs GitHub repo (github.com/harvardartmuseums/api-docs) call GET https://api.harvardartmuseums.org/object?apikey={key}&q={keyword} to search, or add filters like classification, culture, or century call GET https://api.harvardartmuseums.org/object/{id}?apikey={key} for one object's full record inspect the response's images array for baseimageurl/iiifbaseuri fields to build displayable image URLs Known gotchas every request requires the apikey query parameter; requests without it are rejected outright not every object has an image even when other fields look populated — check the images array directly rather than assuming free-tier keys are rate-limited; the docs recommend caching responses instead of re-querying repeatedly
