HDtracks

[Serial-ATA]

I noticed HDtracks is both in the top 50 download sites and afro's Harmony Add-Ons script, so this could be useful.

Example album: https://www.hdtracks.com/#/album/69865d85e9fe460fd4f40f0c

API

For albums, there's only one request to make: https://hdtracks.azurewebsites.net/api/v1/album/<ALBUM ID>

So for the example album, https://hdtracks.azurewebsites.net/api/v1/album/69865d85e9fe460fd4f40f0c

You can also search by GTIN to get the album ID: https://hdtracks.azurewebsites.net/api/v1/albums/search?q=<GTIN>

For the example album, https://hdtracks.azurewebsites.net/api/v1/albums/search?q=00199957399968

What's available

Their API returns a lot of information.

Album

Fields of interest:

• name
• mainArtist
• cover - Cover art, consistently 1024x1024
• upc
• label
• distributor
• genre
• release
• created
• pLine
• cLine
• credits - Artist credits for the entire album 🤯 (unfortunately it's not linked to tracks)

Tracks

Unfortunately, even in multi-disc releases like the example, there's no disc number for tracks...

Fields of interest:

• name
• mainArtist
• isrc
• genre
• duration
• id

There's a separate API for tracks that can be used to get per-track credits: https://hdtracks.azurewebsites.net/api/v1/track/<TRACK ID>

For example, https://hdtracks.azurewebsites.net/api/v1/track/69865d85e9fe460fd4f40f19

My past self (who wrote a HDtracks importer userscript in 2021) can confirm that it should be easy to implement this as a provider 😁
