IMSLP metadata download

Post by yaxu »

Hi all,

I'd like a local copy of the IMSLP wiki database (minus private login info of course), so that I can turn it into a searchable database for a research project I'm involved with. I found one backup via bittorrent linked here:
http://imslp.org/wiki/IMSLP:Backups

However, it is six years old.

At this point I'm primarily interested in the metadata in the wiki, rather than the score files themselves. Might this be available? It would be amazing if so!

Best wishes,

alex

IMSLP supports the MediaWiki API. Would it be sufficient to extract the data you need?

Internet Archive hosts two IMSLP data dumps from December 2012 and January 2014. Maybe it can help you:
