musicbrainz_search_entities | Full-text search across a MusicBrainz entity type (artist, release-group, release, recording, work, label) using a Lucene query string. Returns ranked matches with MBID, name/title, disambiguation, subtype where applicable, release status, and a 0–100 relevance score (100 = exact). Release rows use |
musicbrainz_get_artist | Artist profile by MBID: type, country, life span, gender, area, aliases, tags/genres, release-groups, band-membership / collaboration relationships, and external links. Release-groups embed one upstream page (25); relationships are not capped. For the complete release-group list, call musicbrainz_br |
musicbrainz_get_release_group | Release-group ("the album" above specific pressings) by MBID: primary type (Album/Single/EP) and secondary types (Live/Compilation), first-release date, artist credit, the list of releases (editions), tags/genres, and cover-art availability from the Cover Art Archive (image count and front/back flag |
musicbrainz_get_release | One edition's full detail by MBID: the tracklist (media → tracks → recordings with lengths and recording MBIDs), label + catalog number, barcode, country, release date, format, packaging, text representation (language/script), and a cover-art availability stub. Track lengths are rendered m:ss (store |
musicbrainz_get_recording | Recording (a specific performance, distinct from the abstract work) by MBID: length, artist credits, ISRCs, release appearances, work relationships, and performer/production credits with attributes and dates. Relationships are not capped. Browse release appearances with musicbrainz_browse_entities ( |
musicbrainz_get_work | Work (a composition, distinct from a recording) by MBID: type, languages, ISWCs, writers/composers/lyricists, aliases, tags, and external links. This server returns the first 25 recording relationships with their exact total and actual truncation disclosure, preserving all other relationships. Brows |
musicbrainz_get_label | Label by MBID: type (Original Production, Reissue, Imprint, …), country, life span, label code (the LC number), area, aliases, tags, and external links (url-rels — Wikidata, Discogs, official site). A label's releases are a potentially huge linked set (a major label can have tens of thousands), so t |
musicbrainz_lookup_identifier | Resolve a standard identifier to MusicBrainz entities without a name search — the deterministic path when you already hold an ID. id_type=isrc → recordings (a recording-level code, often shared by several recordings); id_type=iswc → works (a composition-level code); id_type=barcode → releases (UPC/E |
musicbrainz_browse_entities | Paginate entities linked to one parent MBID: release-groups by artist; releases by artist, label, release-group, or recording; recordings by artist, work, or release; works by artist; artists/labels by area. Artist release-groups and release-group editions embed one upstream page in get_* lookups; u |
musicbrainz_get_cover_art | Cover Art Archive images for a release or release-group MBID: front/back flags, image types, full-resolution URLs, and 250/500/1200px thumbnail URLs. Returns an empty image set (NOT an error) when the entity has no art — absence of art is information. An MBID that matches no release or release-group |
