Overview​

Our tutorials provide practical guidance on using Rijksmuseum data services. Each tutorial focuses on the "how": showing real-world workflows and best practices for everything from discovery to harvesting.

For technical specifications, see the main documentation.

Available Tutorials​

Search API: Query the collection to discover objects by creator, type, material, date, and more. Use this when you want to find specific objects or look up records by object number.

OAI-PMH: Harvest metadata in bulk and synchronize it incrementally over time. Use this when you want to build or maintain a local copy of collection metadata.

Linked Data Event Stream (LDES): Consume the collection as a stream of immutable events. Use this when you want to process changes to records over time in an event-driven workflow.

IIIF: Retrieve and transform high-resolution images, access structured image metadata via manifests, and track changes to published resources over time using the Change Discovery API.
