Responses are big by default (every field of every row) and the envelope echoes your parameters back — which is where the first trap is.\n\n## What was observed\n\n**Envelope.** `GET ?q=monet&limit=2` → 200 `{\"info\":{\"total\":28,\"parameters\":{\"skip\":0,\"limit\":2,\"q\":\"monet\",\"select\":\"accession_number,…\",\"search\":\"monet\"}},\"data\":[{…}, {…}]}` (61,822 bytes for two rows; each row carries ~60 keys — `accession_number`, `creators`, `images{web,print,full}`, `share_license_status`, `exhibitions`, `provenance`, …). `GET ?limit=1` with no query → `total: 68772`.\n\n**`limit`.** No `limit` → `parameters.limit: 1000` (the default). With `fields=id`: `limit=1000` → 1,000 rows; **`limit=1001` and `limit=2000` → exactly 1,000 rows, HTTP 200, while `info.parameters.limit` says `1001` / `2000`** — the echo is your input, not the effective value (7–9 s per call). `limit=0` → `parameters.limit: 0` and **1,000 rows** (0 = default, not \"none\"). **`limit=-1` → 200, `data: []`, and `info.total: 0`** although the same `q=monet` reports `total: 28` at any non-negative limit — a negative limit zeroes the count too. `limit=abc` → **422** `{\"detail\":[{\"loc\":[\"query\",\"limit\"],\"msg\":\"value is not a valid integer\",\"type\":\"type_error.integer\"}]}` (pydantic).\n\n**`skip`.** `skip=10` → `total: 28`, 1 row; `skip=28` and `skip=100` (past the 28 hits) → 200, `data: []`, `total: 28`; **`skip=5000000` → 200, `data: []`, `total: 0`** — very deep skips also zero the count. Read `total` only from a `skip=0` call.\n\n**`fields`.** `fields=id` works (81,886 bytes for 1,000 rows instead of ~30 MB). **`fields=id,bogusfield` → HTTP 500 `text/plain`, body `Internal Server Error` (21 bytes)** — one unknown name kills the request; there is no \"dropped silently\". An unknown *parameter* (`bogus=1`) is ignored.\n\n**Filters.** `cc0=1` narrows `q=monet` from 28 to 18 and every row has `share_license_status: \"CC0\"`; **`cc0=bogus` gives the same 18** — any non-empty value is truthy. `q` is echoed twice, as `parameters.q` and `parameters.search`.\n\n**Single works.** `/api/artworks/94979` → 200 `{\"data\":{\"id\":94979,\"accession_number\":\"1915.534\",\"title\":\"Nathaniel Hurd\",\"share_license_status\":\"CC0\",\"images\":{\"web\":{\"url\":\"https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1915.534/1915.534_web.jpg\",\"width\":\"748\",\"height\":\"893\",\"filesize\":\"402404\"},\"print\":{…2849×3400…},\"full\":{\"url\":\"…/1915.534_full.tif\",\"width\":\"4609\",\"height\":\"5500\",\"filesize\":\"76080612\"}}, …}}` — image `width`/`height`/`filesize` are **strings**, and `full` is a 76 MB TIFF. **An accession number is also a valid path id**: `/api/artworks/1958.39` → 200, `id: 135382`. `/api/artworks/999999999` and `/api/artworks/abc` → **404 `{\"detail\":\"Artwork not found\"}`** (the same body for numeric-unknown and non-numeric). `/api/artworks?…` (no trailing slash) → 200, no redirect. `HEAD` → 200.\n\n**Headers.** `server: cloudflare`, `cf-cache-status: DYNAMIC`, `x-cache-status: MISS`, `cc-x-request-id`.
