Development/Seeding

Forms for creating new MusicBrainz entities can be “seeded” with values supplied via POST-ed multipart/form-data body parameters (for the Add Release page) or URL query parameters (for most other pages). Third-party tools that use seeding to make it easier to import data into MusicBrainz are listed at External Resources.

Add Release

Development/Release Editor Seeding documents seeding new releases via POST requests.

Other pages (Add Artist, Add Label, Add Standalone Recording, etc.)

Non-release forms are seeded via URL query parameters sent via GET requests. The following pages support seeding:

• Add Artist
• Add Event
• Add Label
• Add Standalone Recording
• Add Work
