Rijksmuseum Rate Limits

Rijksmuseum data services apply a per-API-key daily request quota of 10,000 requests across all REST endpoints (Collection search, Collection Details, Image Tiles, Usersets) and the OAI-PMH harvesting endpoint. There is no documented per-second / burst limit, but the Collection Search response window is capped so that `page * pageSize` cannot exceed 10,000 records — bulk consumers must switch to OAI-PMH (`ListRecords` with resumption tokens) or to the downloadable data dumps. Keys are issued for free via a Rijksstudio account.

Policies

Per-API-Key Daily Request Quota
Maximum requests per API key per day across the JSON REST endpoints and the OAI-PMH endpoint.
Collection Search Result Window
The Collection Search API caps deep pagination: `p * ps` (or `page * pageSize`) cannot exceed 10,000. Requests for pages past that point return an error.
OAI-PMH Resumption Token Pacing
The OAI-PMH endpoint paginates via `resumptionToken`. Tokens expire over time; harvesters must request the next batch promptly.
