Met Museum Scraper
Searches the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection by keyword through its public Collection API. No login, no proxy, no browser.
Input
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
query | string | Required. Free-text search, e.g. sunflowers. Default sunflowers. |
maxItems | integer | Cap on artworks returned. Default 10. |
hasImages | boolean | Restrict to objects that have an image. Default true. |
Output
One row per artwork: objectId, title, artist, artistNationality,
objectDate, medium, dimensions, department, classification,
culture, isPublicDomain, primaryImage, creditLine,
accessionNumber, objectUrl.
Notes
- The Met splits this into two endpoints: search returns only object IDs, and
each object costs its own request.
maxItemsis therefore the main lever on how long a run takes. - The API returns
""rather thannullfor fields an object has no value for; those are normalized tonullso an empty field is not mistaken for a real value. - A query matching nothing throws rather than finishing with an empty dataset, which would otherwise look like a successful run that found nothing.
