Introduction to Artland

Artland is a marketplace for the global artworld — a platform where galleries, artists, and collectors connect. The Partner Sync API lets claimed artists and galleries programmatically manage their Artland profiles.

What the API Does

The Partner Sync API allows you to:

• Sync artworks — Push your catalog to Artland with images, pricing, and availability
• Manage artists — Gallery partners can sync represented artists
• Publish events — Push exhibitions, openings, talks, and workshops
• Update your profile — Keep your gallery or artist profile current
• Search the platform — Find galleries, artists, artworks, and events
• Track changes — Monitor what’s been synced and when

Note

No image uploads — the API accepts permanent URLs only. Host images on your own infrastructure and pass the URL.

Who It’s For

Partner Type	What You Can Sync
Galleries	Artworks, represented artists, events, profile

   MCP Server      Queue Pipeline

Data flows through a queue pipeline — your writes are acknowledged instantly and processed asynchronously. The API provides three layers of deduplication (natural key slugs, source fingerprints, and idempotency keys) so you can safely retry requests.

Two Ways to Integrate

1. REST API — Standard HTTP endpoints for any language or framework
2. MCP Server — Native tool integration for AI assistants like Claude and Cursor
