Steps reuse the wskey obtained for the Search API — the Record API shares the same key 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 call GET https://api.europeana.eu/record/v2/{europeanaId}.json?wskey={key} to retrieve the item's full Europeana Data Model (EDM) record read edmIsShownBy / edmObject in the response for direct links to media hosted by the contributing institution check aggregations[].edmRights for the specific rights statement governing reuse of that item's media
Known gotchas the id path must include the exact leading segments Europeana provides (e.g. /2020601/...), not a bare numeric id media links point to the original providing institution's servers, which can be slower or less reliable than Europeana's own infrastructure rights statements are set per aggregation and can differ from the record's overall reusability facet — check edmRights specifically before reuse
