Europeana has introduced a standardised system that uses Creative Commons licenses and Europeana rights declarations.
This means that all metadata (content descriptions such as name, date, type, theme, etc.) on Europenana are offered under an open Creative Commons license Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
When it comes to digital objects, e.g. stamp images, contributors have decided how accessible they should be.
The images may have a completely open license or have limited access to the digital objects.
The license information about digital objects can be found in the metadata field. https://www.europeana.eu/portal/da/rights/terms.html
Europeana has an open API that delivers data in JSON format.
Here you can request an API key:
https://pro.europeana.eu/resources/apis/intro See also https://www.europeana.eu/portal/da/rights/api.html.
The license (i.e. rights to reuse) is at the post level, and will thus vary from post to post in the data set.
