You can download an IIIF manifest from e.g. the Digital Bodleian:

Alternately, if you have PhantomJS installed, you can use jsonreqs.js to list all URLs ending in .json requested by a given webpage URL:

phantomjs jsonreqs.js 'http://example.com/viewer.asp?manuscript=shelfmark'

In single-identifier mode, you pass the URL of an IIIF identifier, i.e. what /info.json would be appended to in order to make an Image Information Request.
