Art Institute of Chicago

The Art Institute of Chicago publishes an open, REST + Elasticsearch-style Public API for ~120,000 artworks plus agents (artists/makers), places, galleries, exhibitions, tours, mobile sounds, museum-shop products, publications, sections, sites, educator resources, digital and printed publications, and static archive images. Most data is CC0 1.0; descriptions and place data are CC-BY 4.0. No API key required; anonymous limit is 60 requests/minute per IP. Clients should send an AIC-User-Agent header for courtesy tracking. The canonical aggregator (Laravel) is open source on GitHub, and nightly bulk data dumps are published in a sibling repo.

Art Institute of Chicago publishes 39 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Agent Roles API, Agent Types API, Agents API, and 36 more. Tagged areas include Museums, Open Data, Cultural Heritage, IIIF, and Public APIs.

The Art Institute of Chicago catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Art Institute of Chicago’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 4 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks

5 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/art-institute-of-chicago/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/art-institute-of-chicago to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
IIIF and Cultural Heritage (GLAM image interoperability, Linked Art)	undeclared	-	-	-
Film & Media Identifiers (EIDR, ISAN, MovieLabs, DPP)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
