    <h2>About this Service</h2>

    <p>

    This service provides methods to get both setlists and components of setlists such as artists, cities, countries or

    venues.

    </p>


    <h2>Supported Content Types</h2>

    <p>

    The REST service currently supports XML (default) and JSON content.

    </p>

    <p>

    To receive a JSON response, set the <code>Accept</code>

    <a href="https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.1">header</a> to <em>application/json</em>.

    </p>


    <h2>Internationalization</h2>

    <p>

    <small>(Please note that this is an experimental feature and does not work for all cities!)</small>

    </p>

    <p>

    Most of the featured methods honor the <code>Accept-Language</code>

    <a href="https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.4">header</a>. This header is used for

    localizing cities and countries. The default language is English (en), but you can provide any of the languages

    Spanish (es), French (fr), German (de), Portuguese (pt), Turkish (tr), Italian (it) or Polish (pl).

    </p>

    <p>

    E.g. if you search a setlist for a concert that took place in Vienna and you pass &quot;de&quot; as header, you''ll

    get <em>&quot;Wien, &Ouml;sterreich&quot;</em> instead of <em>&quot;Vienna, Austria&quot;</em>.<br/>

    This also works if you use a different language than the country''s native language.

    </p>

    <p>

    E.g. for a concert in New York, you''ll get <em>&quot;Nueva York, Estados Unidos&quot;</em> instead of <em>&quot;New

    York, United States&quot;</em> if you pass &quot;es&quot; as language.

    </p>


    <h2>API Keys</h2>


    API keys (<a href="https://www.setlist.fm/settings/api">application form</a>) must be included in the request with

    the <code>x-api-key</code> header.
