Input

Field	Type	Description
`queries`	array of strings	Keywords to search (artist, subject, object type).
`maxResults`	integer	Max artworks returned per term (default 10).
`hasImages`	boolean	Only return objects that have an image (default true).

Output (example)

{
  "status": "found",
  "query": "Van Gogh",
  "objectID": 436524,
  "title": "Wheat Field with Cypresses",
  "artist": "Vincent van Gogh",
  "artistNationality": "Dutch",
  "objectDate": "1889",
  "medium": "Oil on canvas",
  "department": "European Paintings",
  "isPublicDomain": true,
  "primaryImage": "https://images.metmuseum.org/CRDImages/ep/original/DP-41223-001.jpg",
  "objectURL": "https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436524"
}

Each result carries a status: found, not_found, or error. The actor never crashes on a term with no matches.

Use cases

Build an art dataset or digital gallery with high-res images.
Education and art-history research.
Power a "random masterpiece" or art-discovery app.
Enrich a catalog with public-domain artwork metadata.

Limitations & fair use

Data from The Met Collection API (open access, CC0 for public-domain works — always check each object's rights). Search returns object IDs which the actor hydrates one by one, so large maxResults runs take longer. Polite delays are applied.
