#musicbrainz

ah well, i just use csvview :D

loujine: ping

Oh well

meh

ohh, python has a nice json library =)

I think the json API is still in beta

reosarevok: yes?

loujine: I just had a question about the bnf ticket but I posted in the ticket and got a useful answer already :)

oh I see

wikipedia/data links to the catalog I believe

Hmm. yvanz ^

So I guess if we want data. (which seems reasonable) we might need to massage the URL ourselves

Oh, damn, it's not so easy

Not only there's an extra 4 at the end on catalogue, but just http://data.bnf.fr/13891295/ without the name doesn't seem to work

data.bnf.fr is the one with the sparql interface

I don't remember how to convert the identifier, but I know I should

(disclaimer: the website was mainly developped by the company I'm working for)

haha

I see

so I have semantic web experts in the next office (when I'm in Paris)

Well I guess most of these entries will come from your script, really

So if you can make your script find the right URL, that should basically solve it :p

I think it also does but the code is commented

I think in the canonic url data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb138912954 '12148' means Person

not sure though

Oh, I see, so that's supposed to be the "permalien", didn't see that one

yes, that's the one wikidata uses

BTW I could probably implement STYLE-622 myself with a little help, now that I have a docker running

Well that makes them easy to convert from catalogue then :)

yvanz: added a subtask for that bit

Not sure how to get the permalink programatically from the standard data.bnf.fr URL though

‘12148’ seems to be appropriate for groups as well: http://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb13938815x

agentsim: well, it is basically just an interface to convert json into python list format. which you then can modify with standard python.

the steps i have to take now, is to load the json, remove all the stuff from it i don't need, then flatten the data and export it as csv :)

I meant the musicbrainz json API is, as far as I know, beta quality, I've no idea what python lib you're using...

well, it works

and produces valid json ;)

The JSON api is basically fine

might want to consider removing the warnings from the documentation then :)

Beta here means "we might break stuff at some point while we make improvements" but not "this is horrible and you should never use it" :p

(I think we last broke stuff in January 2016 or so? But not sure)

Like, make non-backwards-compatible changes, I mean, which we wouldn't do to the XML one

The data is the same, so that shouldn't be a problem, just that you might need to update your code if we make some breaking changes :)

reosarevok, loujine: Actually, ‘12148’ is for BnF :) ^

The first letters ’cb’ of the ID might be useful to validate depending on the linked entity type.

too bad the webservice does not allow the limit to be zero to just get the count of extries

Hi colbydray. Are you looking for feedback? Or are you saying "haha, the world is incomprehensible"? If the latter, +1 :-)

looks like this guy got to many hits on his head :)

I suggested it in #meb, but will say it here too

he clearly doesn't care what MusicBrainz is and doesn't want to be taught about it

so it's better to just leave him alone

+1 : I' guessing that if you ignore him (her/them?), that will be the end of it.

but that also means no more adding his 'music' to MB

does it?

not suggesting that he is right, but there's no need to waste energy on him

SothoTalKer: not really

ignoring means to not react to anything a person does.

That just means to stop contacting him about MB. What is very surprising me is that he already uses social networks a lot and still cannot cope with MB.

SothoTalKer: Noone said anything about ignoring.

Ah. :/

:D

But Gentlecat said “leave alone”, and that is very different.

If it wasn't clear from context that I meant "ignore what he's saying about legal action, and don't contact him again", well... there. That's what I meant.

In the "butterfly effect" sense, you can only ignore him by leaving the planet or something. :-P

it's already too late, he already contacted law authorities ;-)

colbydray, I still don't understand though. Is this bugging you? Or are you just sharing it in the "some people are silly" sense?

agentsim SothoTalKer: JSON WS is in beta only because there are ~2 small open bugs that slightly alter the output, if you're aware of those bugs (they can be found in Jira), then the JSON should be safe to use.

reosarevok too, I guess: ^ :p (Is my understanding anyway. We decided to mark the JSON API stable at a meeting sometime last year, as soon as those bugs were taken care of.)

i cannot access the bugtracker :p

oh, i can. just not submit something :D

SothoTalKer: Are you logged in?

no

There you go.

"The first two-character element represents the country of the ISRC National Agency to which you apply. In the United

States until late 2015 this was “US” or “QM” but after this date, it became “QZ” for new registrant code allocations"

^^ this is kinda funny ;)

I had a QM ISRC and was wondering wtf country is this :D

They need to put out less music already

:p

ok, next step is filtering the json =P

Is someone impersonating navap, or is navap's client/connection having a bad time?

he had the navap 'cloak'
