Hi,
I would like to know how to query a release-group with all the releases inside.
I red the documentation but I do not understand it at all. Here is the query for release-group of a given artist:
Thanks a lot!
For a given release-group (for example, the first one in the above results) you can make:
- either a lookup request for release-group details including releases: http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release-group/02546843-b2b1-4c7f-a31a-23c31e8133bc?inc=releases&fmt=json
- or a browse request for releases that belong to this release group: http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release?release-group=02546843-b2b1-4c7f-a31a-23c31e8133bc&fmt=json

First of all, thanks yvanzo. From what you say, there is no way to get all the release-groups with all its releases for a given artist, then?
returns me:
“error”: “releases is not a valid inc parameter for the release-group resource.”
Why if I specify an ID (release-group/) I can include the releases and if no ID, I get the error above?
Thanks 
Without MBID, this is a browse request which doesn’t support as much as a lookup request.
So according to the documentation, inc=releases is currently not supported for release-groups browse request, but inc=release-groups is supported for releases browse request. Thus you can get all the releases with release groups summary for a given artist with this browse request: https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release?artist=65f4f0c5-ef9e-490c-aee3-909e7ae6b2ab&type=album&fmt=json&inc=release-groups
