Example request
# Verify the documented museum endpoint before production use.
curl -L "https://gdcatalog.m-culture.go.th/" -H "Accept: application/json"Failure modes
- There is no single all-museums API.
- SAC and Museum Thailand are rich public websites but no documented public bulk API was verified.
- Museum definitions differ: national museums, local museums, galleries, science centers, historic houses, temple museums, archives, and learning centers can overlap.
- Open/renovation/closed status matters and can change quickly.
- Hours, fees, holiday closures, free-entry rules, and booking requirements are volatile.
- Google, Foursquare, and Tripadvisor are useful visitor-enrichment sources but not open canonical databases.
- Batch files can change schema, naming, encoding, or publication cadence.
