Europeana Cultural Heritage Scraper
Search Europeana — Europe's flagship cultural heritage aggregator with 60+ million digitised items from over 3,500 museums, libraries, archives and galleries across 30+ European countries. Paintings, photographs, manuscripts, museum objects, sound recordings and 3D scans, all in one searchable corpus.
This Actor wraps the Europeana Record Search API (api.europeana.eu/record/v2/search.json) and returns clean per-item records with title, creator, year, country, rights statement, preview image URL and a link to the original item.
Why scrape Europeana?
- Stock imagery: find public-domain / openly licensed images for editorial and design.
- AI training: build image / text training datasets with curated rights metadata.
- Cultural research: analyse digitisation patterns across European institutions.
- Education: build classroom materials from museum-grade primary sources.
- Apps: power "this day in art history" / "image of the day" content engines.
