💻 Copy-paste code

Three ways to call MusicBrainz — pick your weapon.

// MusicBrainz — no build step, no library. Just fetch.
const res = await fetch("https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?query=coldplay&fmt=json&limit=1");
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);

# MusicBrainz with Python requests
import requests

r = requests.get("https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?query=coldplay&fmt=json&limit=1")
print(r.status_code)
print(r.json())

# MusicBrainz from your terminal
curl "https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?query=coldplay&fmt=json&limit=1"
