# Music Nerd API

Source: https://musicnerd-docs.vercel.app/

Artist profiles, research and onboarding, behind Music Nerd and open to other clients.

The Music Nerd API serves the data behind [Music Nerd](https://www.musicnerd.xyz/) and runs the research that builds an artist's profile: finding their profiles, reading what's written about them, and writing their Lore and About.

Base URL: `https://musicnerd-api.vercel.app`. Staging, on the staging database: `https://musicnerd-api-staging.vercel.app`. These docs call production when you read them on their production URL, and staging on a preview.

Every reference page has a **Try it** panel that sends the request from your browser and shows the live response.

## Conventions

- Responses are flat JSON: `{ "status": "ok", ... }` on success and `{ "status": "error", "error": "<message>" }` on failure. There is no `data` wrapper.
- Every endpoint answers CORS preflight, so a browser on any origin can call it.
- Artist and account IDs are UUIDs. The same artist has a different ID in staging and production.
