Before you pick one

Metadata is free; the media it points to usually is not. Museum open-access images are the exception, and each record says whether it is public domain.

Open an API’s page to see the exact request we send, the answer it gave, and how many of the last 30 days it was up. If it is marked CORS you can run the request from the page itself.
