Infohammer APIs

Museums API

Use this API to add searchable museum directory data to travel, culture, education, arts, and local discovery products. It returns normalized JSON records with country and location filters, museum-type filtering, source-page attribution, count-bearing reference endpoints, and dataset summary totals so developers can build discovery and enrichment workflows without maintaining their own Wikipedia list parser.
