This document summarizes the Europeana APIs for accessing metadata and media from the Europeana digital collection. It describes the Search API and Record API, including how to perform basic searches and get search result profiles. It also provides examples of searching, getting search fields, and accessing record metadata in different formats. The document introduces the Europeana Data Model and how digital objects and representations are submitted and stored as proxies in Europeana.
