musicbrainz

The goal of musicbrainz is to make it easy to call the MusicBrainz api from R.

Installation

You can install musicbrainz from github with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("mikkelkrogsholm/musicbrainz")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem.

Lets find the Prince of Darkness in MusicBrainz

library(musicbrainz)

ozzy_search <- mb_search("artist", 'artist:"ozzy osbourne"')

We can then see Ozzys mbid

ozzy_search[["artists"]][[1]][["id"]]

And if we have a mbid then we can call the lookup function with that id.

ozzy_lookup <- mb_lookup("artist", "8aa5b65a-5b3c-4029-92bf-47a544356934")
