Welcome to the mscz-api wiki!

mscz-api

This is a HTTP API to manage MSCZ files. The public API is at https://mscz-api.librescore.org/. Source code is under the GPLv3.

Usage

Rate limits

The rate limit is 100 API calls for ten minutes. An API call is one HTTP request.

Metadata

The /meta path takes a MSCZ file through a post request (application/x-musescore). and sends back a JSON file with metadata.

Conversion Formats

For conversion, you POST /<format>/<instrument>. The available formats are midi, mxml, and mmxl. It will return the appropriate mime-type for <format>. <instument> is the ID of the excerpt from the metadata, so a /meta request should be made before conversion. Simply POST /<format> for the full score.

Error codes

Reason	Code
400	Invalid format, invalid instrument, or malformed mscz file.

Examples

Examples are available in docs/examples, with an mscz file, its metadata, and the various conversions for that file. All files there were converted with the API. Providing mscz files to convert would help. GeneralUser Orchestral Example provided by Generaluser GS.
