Artsy API
https://developers.artsy.net/

The Artsy API provides access to images of historic and contemporary artwork and related information on artsy.net for educational and other non-commercial purposes. You may access and use API Content only as needed to develop and operate Your Application. You may not access or use any API Content (or any copies thereof) for any other purpose.

This is only accessible for public domain sites. The API is free with an account but must remain free for users and cannot be monetized. Once you log in you start a new App and are lead to a page to get a token in minutes. The token gives you four separate pieces of code for different server-side scripts. It works with Ruby, Superagent, Hyperclient and JSON

Implementation: https://developers.artsy.net/start?id=5bc5139ce31f9b00281e5143

Artsy API is currently in use on Artspace.com

I know that in the past, users of the API weren't allowed to access artworks or pubished_artworks due to rights, non-public domain, etc. I was wondering if this has changed at all or if there is a way to work around this? I'd like my students to be able to click on an artist and learn not only about who they were but also see their works.

Thank you, David.

Hi Melissa,

If you're calling the Artsy API the URL shouldn't be http://localhost:3000/..., it should be something like https://api.artsy.net/api ...

Hope this helps.

cheers -dB.
