Is there any way that i get information about the release by discogs id in API call ? Since the most releases have linked to discogs page i think there way to do that for example

Just do a regular lookup for an URL entity using the resource URL parameter, as per https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Development/XML_Web_Service/Version_2#Non-MBID_Lookups - e.g., https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/url?resource=https://www.discogs.com/release/1309587

Note that you will need to use include parameters as well if you want to go directly from URL to MB entity, e.g., to see artists linked to a given url, you need to use the artist-rels include flag.

You can see an example of this in my spotify2musicbrainz.py script:

gitlab.com

Freso/spotify2musicbrainz/blob/master/spotify2musicbrainz.py#L149-150


        album["tracks"] = spotify.next(album["tracks"])
        tracks.extend(album["tracks"]["items"])
    album["tracks"]["items"] = tracks
    return album




@lru_cache(maxsize=None)
def get_artist_mbid(spotify_id):
    spotify_url = make_spotify_url(spotify_id, "artist")
    try:
        mb_url = musicbrainzngs.browse_urls(spotify_url,
                                            includes=["artist-rels"])
    except musicbrainzngs.musicbrainz.ResponseError:
        # TODO: Raise appropriate exception. (URL doesn't exist.)
        return None


    if "artist-relation-list" in mb_url["url"]:
        artists = mb_url["url"]["artist-relation-list"]
        if len(artists) == 1:
            return artists[0]["artist"]["id"]
        elif len(artists) > 1:
