MusicBrainz

MusicBrainz is an open-source, community-maintained music encyclopedia operated by the MetaBrainz Foundation, a US 501(c)(3) non-profit. It collects metadata about artists, releases, recordings, works, labels, places, areas, events, instruments, series, URLs, and the relationships between them, then exposes the catalog through a free public REST web service at https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/. The dataset itself is released under CC0 (core data) and CC-BY-NC-SA (supplemental tables), the schema is open, and full database dumps and a live replication feed are available. The web service is read-mostly with authenticated submission endpoints for tags, ratings, collections, barcodes, and ISRCs, and is rate-limited to one request per IP per second with a mandatory descriptive User-Agent header.

MusicBrainz publishes 16 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Areas API, Artists API, Collections API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include Music, Metadata, Encyclopedia, Open Data, and Catalog.

The MusicBrainz catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

MusicBrainz’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, CLI, tooling, and 37 more developer resources.
