harvard-artifacts-collection-analytics-app — Claude Code skill: setup
This skill guides an ETL workflow and a Streamlit dashboard for Harvard Art Museums data. Use it when a Python and SQL analytics project needs API ingestion.
npx skills add reason-machines/data-skills --skill harvard-artifacts-collection-analytics-app -a claude-codeWhat harvard-artifacts-collection-analytics-app does
The skill outlines an application that reads object records from the Harvard Art Museums API, reshapes nested responses into related tables, and writes them to MySQL or TiDB Cloud. Its data model covers artifact details, media entries, and color values. Pagination and API rate limits are part of the workflow.
SQL analysis feeds an interactive Streamlit interface with Plotly charts. The setup uses Python 3.7+ and packages including streamlit, pandas, requests, mysql-connector-python, plotly, and python-dotenv. A Harvard API key plus database variables must be placed in .env; without HARVARD_API_KEY, the data extraction step cannot run.
What it helps with
- assemble an ETL workflow for museum records
- turn nested API responses into relational tables
- load collection data into MySQL or TiDB Cloud
- build a Streamlit view for collection analysis
- account for API pagination and request limits
Example prompts for the agent
- Create a Python and SQL ETL workflow for Harvard Art Museums object records.
- Build a Streamlit dashboard using the API’s metadata, images, and color fields.
- Set up the MySQL tables and queries needed to analyze the collection.
