how do i use the API endpoint https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/search/url? i'm trying to lookup whether a given URL already exists as a musicbrainz entity, but all my queries result in a 404

2020-08-26 23955, 2020

scott

i'm reading https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_API and i've tried with and without url encoding, with and without a trailing slash, and so on, testing with this example URL from the docs https://musicbrainz.org/url/39487af5-3c06-49c5-97…

ideally i'd be able to query with http://www.nin.com/ and get back the MBID

reosarevok: hi! no luck yet, what do you think i should try?

2020-08-26 23931, 2020

Well, I can help either way :D

That should do what you want

reosarevok

I don't remember re: escaping vs not escaping, but play around

2020-08-26 23932, 2020

5:23 AM
reosarevok

I do think the trailing slash vs no trailing slash does matter though

2020-08-26 23939, 2020

5:23 AM
reosarevok

Which is a bit silly, but :/

2020-08-26 23956, 2020

5:23 AM
scott

ahh, i think it occurred to me i might have to specify the field (to match the "URL: ...") that appears in the front-end HTML, but then i think i forgot about that idea

2020-08-26 23902, 2020

5:24 AM
scott

thanks

2020-08-26 23952, 2020

5:24 AM
reosarevok

https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/url?resource=http://… seems equivalent and *does* ignore the slash

2020-08-26 23916, 2020

5:25 AM
reosarevok

But then you'd need to set your own inc= params for more info (https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_API#inc.3D)

2020-08-26 23925, 2020

5:26 AM
scott

oh hm, i think i missed the paragraph in the API docs that mention ?resource= for URLs

2020-08-26 23942, 2020

5:26 AM
scott

sounds like it's the intended one: "The URL endpoint's 'resource' entity is for providing a URL directly, rather than a URL MBID"

2020-08-26 23923, 2020

5:30 AM
reosarevok

Yeah. The first URL I gave you is a search server query: it hits the search and returns whatever is indexed (so usually a fair amount of info but you can't configure it)

2020-08-26 23951, 2020

5:30 AM
reosarevok

The second is a server browse, so it hits the database and gives you less info at first but you can ask for more

2020-08-26 23906, 2020

5:31 AM
reosarevok

Depending on what you want to do, you can pick either :)

2020-08-26 23935, 2020

5:31 AM
reosarevok

(for other kinds of entities there's a bigger difference between the two, but URL is weird)

2020-08-26 23918, 2020

5:33 AM
scott

i had a couple of things i wanted to try, and it turns out ?query and ?resource are both things i wanted - specifically queries like https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/url/?query=url:*rate… can answer "is this website ever used in musicbrainz"

2020-08-26 23920, 2020

so thanks :)
