MusicBrainz API

Description

The MusicBrainz API provides developers with access to the MusicBrainz Database, an extensive collection of music metadata. Designed for media applications like players and taggers, it utilizes REST principles and supports content in XML and JSON formats for easy integration.

What can you use it for?

Build a music tagger, an album/release browser, or a release‑search tool using real open music metadata. You can fetch artists, releases, recordings and related links in JSON or XML and include them in web or desktop apps. The API is free for non-commercial read use, and you only need to set a proper User‑Agent. Note the one-request-per-second rate limit for public web service usage.
