  title: setlist.fm REST API
  description: >-
    The setlist.fm REST API provides read-only access to the world's largest
    crowd-sourced concert setlist database. Look up artists (by MusicBrainz
    MBID), setlists and their revision history, venues, cities, and countries,
    and run full-text search across each. All endpoints are HTTP GET and return
    either JSON (Accept: application/json) or XML (Accept: application/xml,
    the default). Every request must include a valid API key in the `x-api-key`
    header; keys are issued from the setlist.fm API settings page. The API is
    free for non-commercial use only - commercial use requires contacting
    setlist.fm. Localized text is available via the `Accept-Language` header
    (en, es, fr, de, pt, tr, it, pl).
