Hi all! First time poster and user of the MusicBrainz API. I’m building a little sample visualizer tool using the MB API and running up against a problem. I want to look up a given recording, find out all the recordings that have a “samples material” relationship with that recording, and then get cover art for each of those related recordings. However, it seems that despite being able to get all the related recordings via the inc=recording-rels parameters, I can only get the recording MBID and not the release MBID, which I need to query the CoverArtArchive API. Therefore, I am now making several sequential requests to the MB API which is resulting in rate limiting.
My question is: is there any way to fetch this data in a single step via the MB API? I.e. given a recording MBID, retrieve the release ID for all releases of all related recordings to the given recording? Or any other way to fetch cover art for all related recordings?
Thanks in advance!
