The [[XML Web Service]] has been updated in order to allow to retrieve or update ratings via WS in a similar way to how [[Folksonomy Tagging|folksonomy tagging]] works. |

The two methods of submission/retrieval are: |

# Using the new /rating resource for submitting/retrieving one specific rating. |

#: <code>wget --user=<editor name> --password=<password> --post-data=id=8f6bd1e4-fbe1-4f50-aa9b-94c450ec0f11\&entity=artist\&rating=3 http://test.musicbrainz.org/ws/1/rating</code> |

# Using the two new inc parameters with the artist, label, release or tracks resources as described in [[XML Web Service]]. |

#: <code>ratings</code> and <code>user-ratings</code> |

Description
The rating system allows users to rate MusicBrainz entities (artists, labels, release groups, recordings, events, works).
Details
User may assign a value between 1 and 5 to various entities as a rating, these values are then aggregated by the server to compute an average community rating for that same entity.
The community rating is shown by default for each entity, however, once a user submits their own rating that value will be shown instead.
