I want to rate tracks identified by MusicBrainz and retrieve my ratings with an API. Seems like TheAudioDb is the only option? MusicBrainz doesn’t have an API method and ListenBrainz doesn’t allow rating tracks. RYT might have an API next century…

What exactly do you mean by rating? MusicBrainz does allow a star rating for all entities, and those can be fetched by API, see [MusicBrainz API - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_API#ratings)

To retrieve YOUR ratings, isn’t the simple answer to just rate your own music in your own tags? No API needed.

It could work, but you can only list all of your ratings and do the processing in GUI so that’s bit heavy for both ends.

You can’t browse content by tags?

Sorry I should have been more exact. I want to browse and search my ratings and for example list top tens by some categories/genres. I will be coding my own simple GUI since there isn’t any suitable ready and it will retrieve all data through API(s).
