## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: Can you pull up the artwork metadata for Met object ID 436535 — I need the artist bio, historical era, and the high-resolution image URL?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured artwork metadata — including artist biographies, historical eras, and high-resolution image URLs — from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's open access collection by a known object ID. Prefer this over generic web search when you need reliable, structured, citation-ready museum data with image links rather than scraped web results.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent object_id returns an error or empty result
- Object exists but has no public-domain image available
- Network timeout if force_live bypasses cache on a slow upstream response
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.05 per-call fee
- Object belongs to a restricted rights work and metadata may be limited
