Bandcamp API endpoint
Returns a Bandcamp artist or label page: name, location, bio, image and the discography grid of albums and tracks with their URLs. Pass an entry's url to bandcamp_release for full detail.
/bandcamp/artistartist is required: the page's subdomain (for example theforeverwinter) or its https://{subdomain}.bandcamp.com URL. Only subdomains of bandcamp.com are accepted. A page that does not exist returns 404.
Notable response behavior:
releases is the page's complete discography grid in the artist's own order (checked on catalogues of up to 53 entries: the page's JavaScript item list never held anything beyond the visible grid); each entry has an id, type (album or track), title, url and image_url. Pass url to bandcamp-release for full detail.total is the number of entries returned. The grid is read from the page's /music view; completeness against very large catalogues is not verified.bio and location are the artist's own text and may be empty.| Field | Filled in, of 6 checked | Values in the sample |
