NAME

Museum::Rijksmuseum::Object - Access the Rijksmuseum object metadata API

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

Access the collection, collection details, and collection image endpoints of the Rijksmuseum "Rijksdata" API.

use Museum::Rijksmuseum::Object;

my $api           = Museum::Rijksmuseum::Object->new( key => 'abc123xyz', culture => 'en' );
my $search_result = $api->search( involvedMaker => 'Rembrandt van Rijn' );
die $search_result->{error} if $search_result->{error};
print "Results: $search_result->{count}\n";
for my $item ( $search_result->{artObjects}->@* ) {
    print "Id: $item->{id}\n";
}

Refer to the Rijksmuseum API documentation for information on query and response formats. Be aware that the API expects camelCase on its parameters and this module follows this convention.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

my $api = Museum::Rijksmuseum::Object->new(
    key     => 'abc123xyz',    # the API key supplied by the Rijksmuseum
    culture => 'en',           # the 'culture' parameter, determines the
                               # language for searching and results
);

Creates a new object instance. The key and culture parameters are required.

my $result = $api->search(
    p       => 3,            # page 3
    ps      => 10,           # 10 results per page
    q       => 'vermeer',    # a general search term
    imgonly => 1,            # image only?
);

Searches the collection. See the API documentation for parameter details.

fetch

my $result = $api->fetch('SK-C-5');

Fetches an individual item from the collection. The parameter is the objectNumber as returned by the search call.

my $result = $api->image_info('SK-C-5');

Fetches the information required to build the image tiles for a particular objectNumber.

TODO

Make a heavier interface

At the moment this is a very thin interface over the Rijksmuseum API. It could be improved by having helpers to do things, for example optionally automatically fetching and stitching images.
