GMD API v3 Overview
Welcome to the GMD API v3. In addition to this documentation, you can find information and resources on the Gracenote Help Center.
The GMD API is a REST service that provides music understanding and enrichment to enable improved display, search, navigation, discovery, and recommendations.
The API supports text searches and ID-based lookups of artists, albums, recordings, and tracks. These operations return descriptive metadata such as genre, origin, and mood, and other related content items.
Endpoints
The table below lists endpoints to retrieve GMD objects:
