Get all releases including compilations with the API

Hello,

How can I get the full list of all releases from a specific artist, including compilations?

For example this artist is featured on 2 compilations: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/2dba94a1-261f-4074-903c-88d7bfc212c5

But in the API the releases endpoint is empty: https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release?artist=2dba94a1-261f-4074-903c-88d7bfc212c5&fmt=json

Use the track_artist parameter to find all releases where that artist is listed in the artist credits for a track:

https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release?track_artist=2dba94a1-261f-4074-903c-88d7bfc212c5&fmt=json
