Making more than one call per second drives up the load on the servers and prevents others from using the MusicBrainz API. In those cases, they will be announced on our blog, so consider following that! Application rate limiting and identificationĪll users of the API must ensure that each of their client applications never make more than ONE call per second.
Do you ever make breaking changes? We try to avoid that, but sometimes we might need to do so. It was deprecated in 2011 when we changed to our current data schema, and after running (without further updates) for several years to avoid breaking any tools using it, it was finally taken down in 2019. What relationships are available So you're on version 2 of the API then? What happened to version 1? The version 1 of the API was designed with the data structure of the original (pre-2011) version of the MusicBrainz database in mind.What else should I know before I start using the API? It'd probably be helpful to know: Check to see if a ticket has been filed in the bug tracker, and if not consider writing one. What should I do if I encounter unexpected behaviour not covered in these docs? You can ask question in IRC or in the forums. Are there language bindings for the API? Yes, in many different languages. This seems very complicated, can I see some examples? Yes, we have an example page showcasing some queries and showing the returned format you can expect for each. Is there a limit to the number of requests I can make per second? Yes. The XML API is the only one that allows submitting data to MusicBrainz (but keep in mind only ratings, tags, barcodes and ISRCs can be submitted via the API at all for most data additions you should use the website instead). Is there any significant difference between the XML and JSON APIs? For requesting data, the XML and JSON API are effectively equivalent. Which formats can I get the data in? The API was originally written to return XML, but nowadays it can also return JSON. Do I need to provide authentication? Data submission, as well as requests that involve user information, require digest authentication. But you must have a meaningful user-agent string.
#Musicbrainz picard problem pulling song from original album free#
Who can use the MusicBrainz API? Is it free? Non-commercial use of this web service is free please see our commercial plans or contact us if you would like to use this service commercially.
Two Album Artists: Still I Rise has 2Pac + Outlawz as the album artists, and Musicbrainz delineates that release as two separate artists. To preface, Plex uses Musicbrainz and I've matched my entire library to Musicbrainz with Picard already. How do you have your library setup to see this? Track artists don't show for me anywhere. Plex only shows the first album artist for me under the default library view.
