• search_artworks

  Search original artworks by natural-language description of what the buyer wants — subject, mood, palette, texture, period, scale. Matches on MEANING rather than keywords, so "a moody blue seascape" finds work no keyword search would. IMPORTANT: the query text is matched on meaning ONLY. A budget written into it — "under 20k" — is NOT applied; pass min_price_usd and max_price_usd instead, or you will get results outside the buyer’s range and not know it. IMPORTANT: this catalogue CANNOT be filtered by authenticity or provenance strength, and no parameter accepts one — Fold verifies sellers, not works, and assesses neither. See _verification on the response and the verification block on each result. Returns only works that are purchasable now; include_sold adds works that have sold. Works taken off sale are never returned. Attributes such as medium and year are as stated by the seller; a null means the seller did not specify it. IMPORTANT: check the `completeness` field before telling a

• get_artwork

  Full detail for one artwork: attribution, medium, dimensions, edition structure, provenance, seller, and every individual impression that can be bought with its own price and availability. A numbered edition has one entry per impression — including artist proofs (AP), printer proofs (PP), and the bon à tirer (BAT), which are separate objects from the numbered run and usually priced differently. Attributes are as stated by the seller, and a null means unspecified rather than estimated. Also returns image URLs to show the buyer. A signed URL is TEMPORARY: honour its `expires_at` and re-fetch rather than caching or redistributing it. An image marked `permanent` is the work’s public copy — reduced and watermarked by Fold — with no expiry. Use this before presenting a work to a buyer, and quote the `impression` label exactly as given.

• check_availability

  Re-check whether specific impressions are still purchasable, immediately before presenting them to a buyer or attempting a purchase. Each work here is unique or from a small edition, so an impression can sell between search and checkout. ALWAYS call this before offering a specific impression — offering a sold original is worse than offering nothing.
