Developer Information
API Overview
Our API is a set of methods based on restful ideas over HTTP. At this time it only supports the GET verb and responses are in JSON only.
The root uri for the current version is located at
https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/api
Client Requirements
The only requirement is that the client must supply a User-Agent header in the API request. This can be blank if need be, but it must be present.
Pagination
Requests that return a list of objects will by default display 40 objects per request, you can change this to any number up to 100 by using a ?perpage query string parameter.
You can also specify a page parameter to retrieve results from different pages via a ?page query string parameter.
Link Header
The actual pagination information is stored in the response headers. In order to allow easy traversing of data sets refer to the Link header to get the next page of objects in your request. E.g
Link: <https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/api/items?perpage=40&page=3>; rel="next",<https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/api/items?perpage=40>; rel="prev"
The total results and total pages is also stored in the response headers. E.g
Total-Results: 87366
Total-Pages: 2185
Response Envelope
In order to make debuging with the api easy, we have included a way to encapsulate all the data needed for a response in the body of the response without having to dive into the actual headers. In order to do this simply add the value ?envelope=true to the query string
