Is the data behind the "apple-music-id-from-mbid" endpoint downloadable?

Hi!

The Dataset hoster: apple-music-id-from-mbid endpoint does the following:

Given a recording mbid, lookup its metadata using canonical metadata tables and using that attempt to find a suitable match in Apple

Is the data “behind” this endpoint downloadable in bulk? i.e. is it part of the ListenBrainz data (in “listens-dump”, or elsewhere..?) or in the MusicBrainz data?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi! Sorry, but I was told that “It’s a cache, so not likely to be complete, but in any case we have no rights to redistribute it”.

I appreciate your response, thank you!

Out of curiosity, would you have any idea where I could find a complete(-enough) source of mapping from MBIDs (releases / recordings) to Apple Music IDs out there? Discogs seems to have some of these mappings (as an Apple widget appears on certain pages) but again - is the data available?

Thanks again!

The MusicBrainz database itself will have a fair amount of Apple Music links connected to recordings and (especially) releases, see the l_recording_url and l_release_url tables. There’s a diagram showing how those tables work but you will want to filter them by url.url to get only Apple Music ones.
