Japan Search Open Heritage Metadata — CC0/PDM Objects
Export reusable cultural-heritage metadata from Japan Search as one clean row per object. The Actor uses Japan Search's official, keyless, public API and includes only databases whose catalog-level content rights are Public Domain Mark (PDM) or CC0.
Quick start
The input is intentionally small and useful:
Increase maxRecords when you need a larger export. The current official database catalog identifies 8 fully PDM/CC0 databases totaling 85,593 source records. The Actor reads the permitted database-specific endpoints; it does not use the cross-search path disallowed by the site's current robots policy.
Output
Each dataset row contains the source object ID, Japanese title, English title where supplied, category, object type, date text, location, provider, owning organization, source database, rights code, description, object link, thumbnail link, and observation time.
Contributor, creator-person, donor, rights-holder-person, email, phone, and address fields are structurally excluded. Japanese catalog text is preserved verbatim.
Billing
You are billed only for heritage_object_record rows delivered. The 25-record default is a bounded first look. The run receipt in RUN_RECEIPT records the official catalog URL, eligible database count, known capacity, databases scanned, rows delivered, and charge parity.
Source and limitations
- Source: Japan Search, operated by Japan's National Diet Library in cooperation with participating institutions.
- API: official database catalog plus database-specific item search endpoints.
- Rights: only catalog-declared PDM or CC0 databases; each delivered row is checked again for
pdmorcc0. - The metadata and rights labels come from contributing institutions. Follow the source link for the fullest object record and any institution-specific context.
- This is metadata, not the media file itself, legal advice, or a guarantee that every separate depicted element is free of third-party rights.
