Brainzmash is a community Muzicbrainz and Lidarr Metadata andpoint backed by a community server pool.
For Lidarr, It's the MusicBrainz metadata you know and love but it solves some issues experienced with the official Lidarr metadata withc shorter lived cache and easy manual cache refresh to capture fresh MusicBrainz data.
The MusicBrainz endpoint, is an alternitive to the Muzicbrainz rate limited API or setting up a Musicbrainz server to serve various projects.
The data on each server is verified as correct and checked regularly to ensure it matches the other servers in the pool by way of running hashed data quorum checks against various endpoints, checking replication freshness and ensuring images are present where possible.
For developers and researchers wanting to use the endpoint, contact me.
Please understand we have limited capacity and a high level of clean, responsible API use by developers is important. Apps will be approved on a case-by-case basis and our current load will often be a limiting factor.
Full instructions are available on the BrainzMash Discord server.
The basic setup:
That's it.
We don't curerently have a need for back end servers but if you happen to be running MusicBrainz and want to contribute, set it up and we cna add you to the pool. While we dont necessarily need more back ends, if youre running a back end that you think will provide fast responses - that is valuable to the pool!
