Features

Fetch query

To perform a lookups via fetch queries, you need to import the Fetch trait. This can be done using musicbrainz_rs::prelude

extern crate musicbrainz_rs;

use musicbrainz_rs::model::artist;
use musicbrainz_rs::model::artist::*;
use musicbrainz_rs::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let nirvana = Artist::fetch()
        .id("5b11f4ce-a62d-471e-81fc-a69a8278c7da")
        .execute();

    assert_eq!(nirvana.unwrap().name, "Nirvana".to_string());
}

Include parameters

You can also use includes to get more detail about a resource :

Every Musicbrainz resource has allowed include parameters.

extern crate musicbrainz_rs;

use musicbrainz_rs::model::label::*;
use musicbrainz_rs::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let ninja_tune = Label::fetch()
        .id("dc940013-b8a8-4362-a465-291026c04b42")
        .with_tags()
        .with_ratings()
        .execute()
        .unwrap();

    assert!(ninja_tune
        .tags
        .unwrap()
        .iter()
        .any(|tag| tag.name == "independent"));

    assert!(ninja_tune.rating.is_some());
}

Browse query

Use musicbrainz_rs::Browse or bring it in scope using musicbrainz_rs::prelude to perform a browse query. Just like Include every muscibrainz resource has allowable linked entities for such queries.

extern crate musicbrainz_rs;

use musicbrainz_rs::model::artist;
use musicbrainz_rs::model::artist::Artist;
use musicbrainz_rs::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let artists_on_in_utero_release = Artist::browse()
        .by_release("18d4e9b4-9247-4b44-914a-8ddec3502103")
        .execute();

    let artists_on_in_utero_release = artists_on_in_utero_release.unwrap();
    
    artists_on_in_utero_release
        .entities
        .iter()
        .for_each(|artist| println!("{:?}", artist.name));
}

Search query

Use musicbrainz_rs::Search to perform a search query.

extern crate musicbrainz_rs;

use musicbrainz_rs::model::artist::Artist;
use musicbrainz_rs::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    musicbrainz_rs::config::set_user_agent("my_awesome_app/1.0");

    let query = Artist::query_builder()
        .name("Miles Davis")
        .and()
        .country("US")
        .build();

    let query_result = Artist::search(query).execute().unwrap();
    let query_result: Vec<String> = query_result.entities
        .iter()
        .map(|artist| artist.name.clone()).collect();

    assert!(query_result.contains(&"Miles Davis".to_string()));
    assert!(query_result.contains(&"Miles Davis Quintet".to_string()));
}

Custom user agent

You can set your application user-agent as recommended in the musicbrainz documentation :

extern crate musicbrainz_rs;

use musicbrainz_rs::model::artist::Artist;
use musicbrainz_rs::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    musicbrainz_rs::config::set_user_agent("my_awesome_app/1.0");

    let nirvana = Artist::fetch()
        .id("5b11f4ce-a62d-471e-81fc-a69a8278c7da")
        .execute();

    assert_eq!(nirvana.unwrap().name, "Nirvana".to_string());
}
