FAQ

Questions Europeana owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I filter my search to only include images?

    You can use the qf (Query Filter) parameter in the search_records capability. For example, setting qf=TYPE:IMAGE will narrow your results to visual media only.

  • 02

    Can I retrieve information about a specific artist or historical figure?

    Yes! Use the get_entity capability with the type set to 'person' and the corresponding entity ID to fetch detailed information about individuals linked to Europeana records.

  • 03

    What is the OAI-PMH capability used for?

    The oaipmh_request capability is designed for bulk harvesting of metadata. It allows you to list identifiers, sets, and records in XML format, which is ideal for large-scale data integration and archival synchronization.
