Evidence-backed facts
- Art Institute of Chicago documentation describes its API as a JSON-formatted REST-style service for public data. It documents artwork listing and detail examples plus artworks, artists, exhibitions, agents, places, galleries, images, and collection metadata; this does not establish complete collection coverage, current record accuracy, or museum authority. informative
- The documentation says anonymous users are throttled to 60 requests per minute per IP. This review does not establish a credential or account contract, write capability, user-agent compliance, or permission to assert image rights, attribution, ownership, exhibition, or museum-representation authority. informative
- Documentation says listing and search endpoints paginate, default to 12 records, use page with a default of 1, cap limit at 100, and cannot return more than 10,000 records from one search query. The fields parameter requests named fields. This review does not establish a complete route, filter, include, query, rate-limit, or observed-service-behavior contract. informative
- The documentation says the API does not contain image files and exposes metadata for a separate IIIF Image API. An image can be unpublished or replaced; copyright is deferred to the publisher's licensing and terms pages, and the user must determine permissions. This reviewed documentation does not grant Kallipolis or an Agent permission to query records or images, fetch or download media, assume public-domain status, or reuse any asset. informative
