API: content of a public gallery

[Christian Mayr Hofer]

Hi Folks,

is there a way to call the contents of a user created gallery. Let's say https://www.europeana.eu/en/set/5879 for example.

Have a nice day

Hiya Christian,

yes you can call the contents of a user created gallery! Using the user sets API you can create a call like this: https://api.europeana.eu/set/5879.json?wskey=YOURAPIKEYHERE. You can request an API Key here.To get the actual items associated with your user set, paginate through your records like so: https://api.europeana.eu/set/5879?page=0&pageSize=100&wskey=YOURAPIKEYHERE

hope this helps

Thank you Jolan for this implementation! 

I question myself how to receive its content because there is just a list of URLs. I would rather get the contents like the items-list in this query from a Search API query: https://api.europeana.eu/record/v2/search.json?media=true&profile=rich&query=torre%20Pisa&reusability=open&rows=20&sort=random&start=1&thumbnail=true&wskey=ranerrialsey

Background: I want to mash the items together with other content. See this example https://social.guide/italy/preview/www.unesco.it/ 

Cheers,

Christian

Hi Christian,

the content is currently served by giving you a list of record URLs, yes, this won't change in the near future. You can use those URLs to make calls to the Record API to get the information you're looking for, though. You'd need to create a few more API requests per call in this way, but this is how our APIs are implemented. I hope this helps your project!
