Retructured music API to increase performance and remove useless endpoints (#224)
Music API changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This release includes an API break. Even though the API is advertised
as unstable, and not documented, here is a brief explanation of the change in
case you are using the API in a client or in a script. Summary of the changes:
- ``/api/v1/artists`` does not includes a list of tracks anymore. It was to heavy
to return all of this data all the time. You can get all tracks for an
artist using ``/api/v1/tracks?artist=artist_id``
- Additionally, ``/api/v1/tracks`` now support an ``album`` filter to filter
tracks matching an album
- ``/api/v1/artists/search``, ``/api/v1/albums/search`` and ``/api/v1/tracks/search``
endpoints are removed. Use ``/api/v1/{artists|albums|tracks}/?q=yourquery``
instead. It's also more powerful, since you can combine search with other
filters and ordering options.
- ``/api/v1/requests/import-requests/search`` endpoint is removed as well.
Use ``/api/v1/requests/import-requests/?q=yourquery``
instead. It's also more powerful, since you can combine search with other
filters and ordering options.
Of course, the front-end was updated to work with the new API, so this should
not impact end-users in any way, apart from slight performance gains.
.. note::
The API is still not stable and may evolve again in the future. API freeze
will come at a later point.
