Are there any public music databases searchable by time signature, key, and possibly other musical criteria?

Hi! Everything’s in the title, more or less.
I’m looking for a way of searching music titles by their musical characteristics.
I realize these are not always relevant since they may change within a single piece, and extracting this information is certainly a lot of work, so I don’t have much hope of finding anything. I’ve already searched multiple sites unsuccessfully. But I figured here may be a good place to ask.

Something like Get Song BPM, Tunebat or Pulse?
There is also AcousticBrainz which collects its own data unlike the others who are based on Spotify data.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I specifically want to search by musical features.
As far as I can tell, Pulse only lets your search by artist or title.
I think Tunebat’s advanced search is what comes closest to what I’m looking for.
None of them have time signatures though.
Here’s one example of what I’d like to search for:
All metal songs in 6/8 with a tempo of 140 or higher.
I might have some success using the AcousticBrainz database but I’m not sure the public API can answer this kind of queries. I guess I’d have to download it and feed it to ElasticSearch or something.
