Steps
create an account at apicollections.parismusees.paris.fr to obtain an authentication token — required for all API calls, no anonymous access
read the documentation at parismuseescollections.paris.fr covering connecting to the API, data retrieval, and data structure (available in French and English)
use the GraphiQL explorer at apicollections.parismusees.paris.fr/explorer to browse the schema and test queries interactively before writing client code
send POST requests to https://apicollections.parismusees.paris.fr/graphql with Content-Type: application/json, your auth token, and a GraphQL query body requesting the specific fields you need
page through large result sets using the pagination arguments exposed in the GraphQL schema
Known gotchas
unlike most open-access museum APIs in this cluster, Paris Musées requires an account and token even for read-only queries — there is no anonymous access path
GraphQL responses only include exactly the fields your query requests, so under-specifying the query silently omits data rather than erroring
documentation is bilingual (French/English) but the two versions can lag each other — cross-check the French pages if the English page seems incomplete
