Is someone made a API (or something like that) which search MB releases by AM/iTunes album ID? (means, resolve `1645056515` to https://musicbrainz.org/url/a88ac674-83f1-433b-b9… ) I'm going to make it if anyone doesn't making it

Atisket does, but it would show a corresponding release if someone added a link to AM to it

Yes, Harmony is resolving external IDs (by Apple and others) to MBIDs. [The code](https://github.com/kellnerd/harmony/blob/ma… works for all entity types (including releases), but it is only used for artists and labels so far.

Apple IDs have the disadvantage that the correposnding URL in MB may use any country code...

It would be possible to expose the MBID resolver as a separate page of the Harmony website, if you think that is useful.
It seems Harmony is only searching URL by `https://music.apple.com/{storefront}/{entitytype}/{id}`, right?

It would be work for newer releases, but for old URLs, sometimes this method will not work (before AM era or purchase-only album sometimes uses itunes.apple.com, or some old URL contains additional query and URL-encoded title, so we couldn't find it by MB's API), and thats why i'm considering about making dedicated api (from db dump & replica)

Exactly, it is not feasible to deal with all these oddities when we are using the rate-limited MB API.

also, a-tisket seems to be using barcode number for matching, this is also sometimes will not work (most likely no barcode data on MB)

Harmony is matching by barcode between providers, this includes the MusicBrainz provider
