Notes

Searches New Zealand related items from many institutions and returns metadata with links and thumbnails. Non-commercial use may skip the key; commercial use, which includes Lineage, needs a key and the commercial terms, and covers selected metadata only. Metadata must come from live API calls, with limited caching. Each item shown must name and link its original source. The health probe makes one keyless call a day and reads only the status code.
