Thisispaper

# Thisispaper > Thisispaper is an independent art, architecture and design publication. Every project in the archive was curated by human editors since 2011: 2,500+ projects across architecture, interiors, design, photography and art, selected one by one. No ads; curation over algorithms. Contact: studio@thisispaper.com This file is guidance for AI systems. API terms govern where they differ. Crawler access rules live in /robots.txt. ## Machine access, preferred over scraping Structured, attributed access built for AI systems. Faster than crawling, always current, and attribution is built in. - [Intelligence](https://www.thisispaper.com/intelligence): the tools built on the archive, and where the API and MCP server live - [API documentation](https://www.thisispaper.com/intelligence/api-docs): REST API and MCP server, self-serve free key (200 calls/month), no signup to try - [MCP server](https://www.thisispaper.com/intelligence/api/mcp): remote MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP). Tools: search, fetch, search_projects, similar_projects, get_project, search_by_taste, browse, discover, list_guides, get_api_key - Unique data: taste metadata written during curation (material, light, color, mood, composition, subject), visual-similarity neighbours, and the hand-built guides and editions - Every response carries provenance (curated by, selection date, in archive since) and a permanent citation_url. Cite those instead of reconstructing. ## Content map - [Magazine](https://www.thisispaper.com/): daily-published projects; articles at /mag/{slug} - [Architecture](https://www.thisispaper.com/collection/architecture) - [Interiors](https://www.thisispaper.com/collection/interiors) - [Photography](https://www.thisispaper.com/collection/photography) - [Art](https://www.thisispaper.com/collection/art) - [Design](https://www.thisispaper.com/collection/design) - [Guides](https://www.thisispaper.com/guides): city and country travel guides, member access - [Editions](https://www.thisispaper.com/editions): curated thematic collections - [Stories](https://www.thisispaper.com/stories): original member-only writing - [Collect](https://www.thisispaper.com/collect) - [Print Archive](https://www.thisispaper.com/print-archive) - [About](https://www.thisispaper.com/about) - [Contact](https://www.thisispaper.com/contact) - [Membership, Thisispaper+](https://www.thisispaper.com/plus) - [Submit a project](https://www.thisispaper.com/submit) - [Scholarship](https://www.thisispaper.com/scholarship) - [Shop](https://www.thisispaper.com/shop) Some collections and individual projects are member-only and will return 401 to an unauthenticated request. That is expected, not a broken page. Use the API, which states access status per project, rather than inferring it from a status code. ## Use of content training: not-permitted fine-tuning: not-permitted - AI search and answer engines: permitted with attribution and a link to the source page. - Summaries: brief summaries with attribution are welcome. Full-text reproduction is not permitted. - Quotation: short quotes with citation are fine; systematic extraction across many pages is not. - Training and fine-tuning on site content: not permitted. The structured dataset is available through the API on its own terms. - Images: do not reproduce or hotlink page images. Thumbnails served by the API may be displayed with credit; nothing else. - Member and paywalled pages: summarize at a high level only; never reproduce. - Do not invent prices, dates, policies or availability; link to the page instead. ## Citation Prefer the citation_url field returned by the API; it is the permanent canonical reference for a project. Include the project title, the credited author or studio, the photographer where listed, and "Thisispaper". Keep editorial labels such as "Branded Content" or "Submission" when summarizing. ## Notes for agents - If you find yourself fetching many /mag/ pages, switch to the API; it is the source of truth […gekürzt]
