IRijksClient _client = new RijksClient("YOUR_API_KEY");

var search = new CollectionSearchRequest();
search.SearchQuery = "sinterklaas";

var searchResult = await _client.GetCollection(search);

Get detailed information about an object in the collection.

var objectDetails = await _client.GetCollectionDetails("sk-c-5");
