Capabilities

Tools 7

artlist-describe

Call this first. Explains record types, public fields, how records link to each other, languages, record counts and how to search well.

Discovered
artlist-facets

Record counts per type and language, and the most used topics; with type: distribution by decade, its topics and the most common places (birth places of persons, cities of spaces). Good for overviews and for choosing filters.

Discovered
artlist-get

Full public record by id (or page url): all public fields (biography, exhibitions, bibliography, technique, annotations …), every linked record grouped by type (id, type, name, years), and the other language versions. Long texts are cut at 5000 chars unless full=true; images only as image_count unless images=true. For a contributor: annotations_written (every annotation they wrote, with the record, date and text).

Discovered
artlist-related

Records connected to a record. via="topics": most similar records by shared topics (returns shared_topics). via="links" (default), depth=1: direct links (an artist's works, groups, videos; a group's members). depth=2: records connected through a shared neighbour (e.g. artists sharing a group or an artwork with X), ranked by how many links they share.

Discovered
artlist-search

Find artists, theorists, groups, spaces, artworks, videos, annotations, events and contributors (annotation authors). Combine free text (accent-insensitive, all words must match, "quotes" for a phrase) with filters: types, lang, year range (overlap), topics, place, related_to. Returns short records (id, type, name, years, summary, url); use the get tool (artlist-get) for details. Page with offset / next_offset.

Discovered
fetch

Full text of one Artlist record by id from search: all public fields, linked records, annotations, with the page URL for citation.

Discovered
search

Standard document search over the Artlist archive of Czech contemporary art (artists, theorists, groups, spaces, artworks, videos, events, contributors), both languages. Returns ids for fetch. For filters (type, years, topics, links) prefer artlist-search.
