Steps

  1. reuse the wskey obtained for the Search API — the Record API shares the same key
  2. get the target item's europeanaId (a path like /9200579/photography_ProvidedCHO...) from a prior Search API call or a europeana.eu item page URL
  3. call GET https://api.europeana.eu/record/v2/{europeanaId}.json?wskey={key} to retrieve the item's full Europeana Data Model (EDM) record
  4. read edmIsShownBy / edmObject in the response for direct links to media hosted by the contributing institution
  5. check aggregations[].edmRights for the specific rights statement governing reuse of that item's media
