Introduction - FMDB Documentation

The API is currently in beta and subject to change. FMDB is a non-commercial, privacy-first platform.

Base URL

All endpoints are served from the production host:

https://www.fmdb.net

Authentication is required for all endpoints unless stated otherwise. The API uses bearer tokens.

Open your settings

Once signed in, go to your account settings and find the API Access Tokens section.

Create a token

Generate a token there and store it somewhere safe — treat it like a password.

Send the token in the Authorization header on every request:

Authorization: Bearer <token>

The API follows the JSON:API conventions. Requests and responses use the application/vnd.api+json media type.

curl https://www.fmdb.net/api/artists \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.api+json"

Releases, release formats, tracks, recordings, and packaging types.

Films and other productions, their entries and recordings.

Artists, aliases, group memberships, roles, labels, and organizations.

Personal collection and wishlist items.

Use the Endpoints section in the sidebar to browse the full reference and try requests directly from the playground.
