FAQ
Is an API key needed? No. The MusicBrainz API is fully public. This scraper uses a polite user-agent and respects the 1 request/second rate limit.
How many events are available? MusicBrainz indexes over 1 million events going back decades, contributed by a global community.
Can I find historical concert data? Yes. MusicBrainz has historical event data from the 1950s onwards for major artists.
What's the difference between search and byArtist?
search looks for events by name/title keywords. byArtist uses the Lucene query artist:"name" to find events where a specific artist performed.
