Discussion
- How does this web service deal with special characters? For example Mýa or Adèle. I have tried both URLEncoding and XMLEncoding but without any luck.
- When using
?name=...
it says it retrieves resources with a matching name (or title). What kind of "matching"? - How exactly does
?duration=...
work - does it support range or fuzzy matching for example? - If multiple filter arguments are given, how do they combine? Is it allowed to repeat a filter argument (e.g.
?artist=X&artist=Y
) ? - AFAICT nowhere does it say what exactly all the
?inc
options do. I can guess most of them, in a vague sort of way, but for example is?inc=artist-rel
artist releases or artist relationships (or something else)? If these have already been defined, then a pointer to that definition would be helpful. - Are there any plans on adding release lookup by EAN / UPC code? Would be a very nice feature for media libraries to get more information about audio CDs. --BrainDamaged
