Auction sales and Partner API

[Gytis Dokšas]

Hello Artsy Developer Team and other developers,

We are a team of Master degree students with professional researcher from Kaunas University of Technology with a goal to create applied research project. Our project requires access to artworks (mostly paintings), their metadata (authors, dimensions, genes (as decribed in your API), similar artworks) and most importantly - auction prices. It seems that Public API is limited since using Public Artworks API for getting multiple artworks (at GET "/api/artworks") only provides artworks with tag "sold" set to false. Additionally, searching for artworks by keywords allows finding specific artwork ids. Finding a painting that is sold and trying to use GET "/api/artworks/{id}" provides unknown as if artwork does not exist (while Search API provides elseway). We have noticed that your services provide a Partner API which has more endpoints with data we are interested it. Would it be possible to get access to said Partner API (or other sources to get data with auction prices) to use for our research work. This will only be used for research purposes. Additionally, if there are methods of acquiring auction bid prices with Public API, could someone provide examples of how to gather such data.

Thanks for your answers,

Gytis Dokšas
