Steps

  1. note that the legacy apikey-based Collection API is deprecated and being phased out; use the current Search API instead, which requires no API key
  2. call GET https://data.rijksmuseum.nl/search/collection with optional filters like creator, title, type, material, technique, creationDate, or imageAvailable=true
  3. read each result's id in the orderedItems array — these are Linked Open Data identifiers (e.g. https://id.rijksmuseum.nl/{id}) with no embedded metadata
  4. resolve each id via the Persistent Identifier Resolver (documented under /docs/http) to get full object metadata and image links
  5. follow the response's next.id URL (which appends an automatic pageToken) to page through more than the default 100 results per page
