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

FieldTypeNotes
querystringRequired. Free-text search, e.g. sunflowers. Default sunflowers.
maxItemsintegerCap on artworks returned. Default 10.
hasImagesbooleanRestrict 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. maxItems is therefore the main lever on how long a run takes.
  • The API returns "" rather than null for fields an object has no value for; those are normalized to null so 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.
