Search for AcoustID on Musicbrainz

Question

Muscibrainz offers acoustID fingerprints, e.g., here

However, i do not find a possibility to directly search for them (like it is possible for the PUIDs or echoprints)

Am I missing something?

acoustid.org offers the information I want, but not as a Acoustid WebService.

Example: given the fingerprint 453a8e75-ef90-4f31-a2b2-84494219bd3b I want the information provided by the following page: http://acoustid.org/track/453a8e75-ef90-4f31-a2b2-84494219bd3b

(sidenote: I'm not interested in any fingerprint matching process, I just want all entries with a given acoustID)

Answer 1

AcoustIDs are not included in the MusicBrainz database directly, so they can't be searched using the MusicBrainz Web Service. There is also an AcoustID Web Service.

You can't lookup by acoustID, yet. You can only lookup a fingerprint created by chromaprint: http://api.acoustid.org/v2/lookup?client=8XaBELgH&meta=recordingids&duration=641&fingerprint=AQABz0qUkZK4oOfhL-CPc4e...

There are multiple fingerprints mapped to one AcoustID.

EDIT: I opened a ticket on MusicBrainz and a ticket for acoustid.org.

EDIT: What MB calls "AcoustID" is an "AcoustID track ID" on acoustid.org and you can access it via http://api.acoustid.org/v2/lookup?client=8XaBELgH&meta=recordingids&trackid=453a8e75-ef90-4f31-a2b2-84494219bd3b (since 2011 already). There is no documentation about that yet, but there will soon be.

EDIT: This is now documented in http://acoustid.org/webservice#lookup_by_trackid

Answer 2

You can in fact look up by AcoustID instead of using fingerprint and duration, it just appears to not be documented:

http://api.acoustid.org/v2/lookup?client=8XaBELgH&meta=recordingids+recordings&trackid=453a8e75-ef90-4f31-a2b2-84494219bd3b
