MusicBrainz API
The MusicBrainz API delivers access to a vast, collaboratively maintained music metadata repository. Developers can retrieve details about artists, releases, recordings, labels, works, and other music entities using search, lookup, and browse endpoints in both JSON and XML formats. With support for identifier-based queries and pagination, it is ideal for building music discovery tools, metadata editors, and music cataloging apps.
