FAQ

Questions MusicBrainz owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I search for a specific artist if I don't have their MBID?

    Use the search_entities capability. Set the entity_type to 'artist' and provide the name in the query field. The agent will return a list of matches with their respective MBIDs.

  • 02

    Can I see all the recordings (songs) on a specific album?

    Yes! Use the lookup_entity capability with the release MBID and include 'recordings' in the inc parameter. This will fetch the full tracklist and metadata for that release.

  • 03

    Do I need an account to search the database?

    No. Searching and looking up data only requires a MUSICBRAINZ_USER_AGENT. An Access Token is only needed for actions like submit_tags, submit_ratings, or add_collection_items.
