About 3 years ago, dB. announced that Artsy had a public API.
The Artsy API currently provides access to images of historic artwork and related information on artsy.net for educational and other non-commercial purposes.

The TDLR Terms and Conditions today for using the Artsy API is:
- Non-commercial use only.
- You only get access to public-domain artworks.
The API:
If you have a great idea for an app that can use public-domain data, then the Artsy API is the right place to look: https://developers.artsy.net.
