Open Access
On May 11, 2021, the Whitney Museum of American published its first open access datasets, available under a Creative Commons CC0 license. The Museum also provides access to much of our public data through an API (application programming interface).
Open access datasets
The Museum publishes updated open access datasets each night, in easily digestible CSV format on our GitHub. These datasets include the majority of artist and artwork information available on the Museum's online collection.
Public API
Our API provides realtime access to much of our public data. This includes artists and works from our online collection, and exhibitions and events. Data is most complete for more current records, with more limited information available pre-internet.
