If there's a public-facing collections online site related to the museum API, feel free to include it. If you're looking for images and books rather than machine-readable data, here's a lot of ' open collections'. Information about schemas/data structures used by other projects is also useful, even if they don't provide an API. The layout is simple - H2 heading for the title, a brief summary of what's available with which licences and formats, and as many links as you like. It's fine to add your own GLAM API or open cultural dataset - in fact, it's encouraged, whether it's tiny or huge, or whether it's a simple text file or a fancy endpoint. If you know of or have written libraries for use with these APIs, then please add them to help other people get started. Please add APIs and other data sets you're aware of, ideally with a comment on what's useful or not about how they've been implemented or documented. If you use this to find data for a project or to build another list, it'd be lovely if you credited the wiki/ Mia Ridge as its maintainer as it's been a lot of work over the years.) If you have some free time, the list of APIs needs to be tidied up a bit, and open cultural data releases (such as images online) could be put on a separate page - feel free to dive in and help out!

If you know of an open data service that's not listed, just sign up to add it. A collection of museum, gallery, library, archive, archaeology and assorted sources for machine-readable dataĪnyone can edit this page.
