Param: ?id=<plate_id> (browse ids free at /archive/plates/catalog)
Output
Returns a single curated plate object containing a high-resolution IIIF image URL (or multiple resolutions), a human-written caption explaining the depicted machinery or process, and associated plate metadata. The response covers one of 36 verified plates spanning Ramelli's 1588 machine engravings and Agricola's 1621 De re metallica mining woodcuts.
Example use cases

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agentdataapi.onrender.com/archive/plateWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a specific single plate — its image and explanatory caption — from the 36-plate curated set of Ramelli or Agricola Renaissance engineering illustrations. Prefer this over sibling endpoints when the user knows a plate ID or wants to display one illustration at a time rather than browsing the full catalog.
Side effects
- Invalid or out-of-range plate_id returns a 404 or error response
- Missing ?id= parameter may return an error or default response
- Server cold-start latency on Render free tier may cause slow initial response
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC not provided or insufficient funds
- Plate catalog may not cover all possible IDs — only 36 verified plates exist
