The ListenBrainz API exposes sitewide statistics and fresh release data from the open listening-history platform.
The information on this page was compiled from the provider's own sources, but the record has not been through full editorial review. Verify access conditions and limits against the provider's current documentation. Records in this state are not indexed by search engines.
Our review criteriaCatalog notes to consider when evaluating the integration, in addition to the provider documentation.
Sitewide statistics endpoints need no key; reading a user listening history or submitting listens requires a token. The fresh releases endpoint returns a very large payload with default parameters — over six hundred kilobytes in our test — so narrow the days parameter and cache the response. Records carry MusicBrainz identifiers, which makes cross-referencing easy but means storing those ids in your own catalogue. Check the platform terms before commercial use. Verified on 2026-08-22.
