Finding producer (and other credits like arranger, etc) with API query?

Is it possible to use an API query to search for all recordings with a particular credit? If so, which endpoint and what parameters?

E.g. find all recordings where “Jeff Lynne” has a “producer” credit?

Also, similarly, how could I find all works with “Jeff Lynne” has a “writer” credit?

Hi!

I don’t think you can specifically search for one particular credit - you’d need to do a general query for his recording-level relationships and then process it to get the specific relationships you want (such as all <relation> elements with attribute type-id="5c0ceac3-feb4-41f0-868d-dc06f6e27fc0" for producer).

Excellent, thank you for the example query! That will work perfectly.
