Steps

  1. review the current (v2) API overview at api.aucklandmuseum.com — no API key is required for this version, and any previously issued key is now obsolete
  2. use the Elasticsearch-backed /search endpoint (e.g. GET api.aucklandmuseum.com/search/collectionsonline/_search?q={term}) to find subjects matching a keyword, respecting the documented limit of 10 requests/second and 1000/day
  3. for each result, use its full URI with the /id endpoint (e.g. GET api.aucklandmuseum.com/id/humanhistory/object/{id}) and an Accept: application/json header to get full Linked Open Data details, including any ecrm:P138_has_representation media links
  4. resolve media URIs via /id/media with a rendering query parameter (original.jpg, thumbnail.jpg, preview.jpg, or standard.jpg) to fetch actual image files
  5. for relationship-style queries (e.g. all objects made of a given material), POST a SPARQL query to the /sparql endpoint (10-second execution cap, 5 req/s and 100/day rate limit)
