sckott / musemeta Goto Github PK

html has changed on page

Wonder if http://www.artstor.org/index.shtml has any APIs we can use. They are a node in DPLA, so can import dpla pkg in dev here

purpose: for search across museums, if they do that

The url we use seems broken now http://search.getty.edu/museum/records/musobject Just returning nothing, e.,g, http://search.getty.edu/museum/records/musobject?objectid=140725

Search page on their site now e.g., this could work http://search.getty.edu/gateway/search?q=140725&cat=&rows=10&dir=s&img=0&dsp=0&pg=1

but need to test and see if parsing will work on that

I'm attempting to gather a lot of information about Greek and Roman art.

When I type in: met(XXXXXX) the data is returned quickly. Even when grabbing information from multiple different objects the information is returned quickly.

But when I attempt to use scrapi to grab information, whether I am attempting a random grab [scrapi_random(fields=c('medium','whoList'))], a specific one [scrapi_info(123, fields=c('title','primaryArtistNameOnly','medium'))], or a scrapi search query [scrapi_search(query='rome')] the same error is returned: Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) : Empty reply from server.

My ultimate goal is to grab all object six-digit reference numbers that are found when the search query is for 'Greece' or 'Rome,' for further data collection. Any help regarding this would be appreciated.

make a note in the docs

Hi there,

A simple question is that where are object IDs coming from? Usually the on-line collections like the one in MET provides only the accession numbers.

Thanks,

Just found a python client https://github.com/c-w/GettyArt, but looks like it only gets images, not metadata

using new ckanr package
