Developer documentation

XML web service
The REST-based webservice API for direct access to MusicBrainz data (Please review the libraries above before writing your own implementation).
See also: Examples
Search server information and Text Search Syntax
RelaxNG schema
Release Editor Seeding: Providing programmatic information to the release editor (from another site or an application), the closest we have to an edit API as yet
(internal) JS autocomplete API
Server setup
The MusicBrainz Server is not available as an executable application. Setting up the server will require you to checkout the source code and follow the INSTALL file's instructions.
The MusicBrainz Database contains all the metadata information available on musicbrainz.org and it's free for anyone to download and make use of it (and we encourage this!). Setting it up will require access to a PostgreSQL database. See instructions as part of the Server Setup above or use mbslave.
Server environment variables that may prove useful
Search Server Setup if you're brave enough to want to try.
Some javascript testing information
Embedded metadata
Picard Tag Mapping: The documentation for how Picard maps concepts to tags; useful if you want to use these tags elsewhere, or if you'd like to follow the same standard.
