I was wondering if there was any way to get at the release date, and not just the year. Many (most?) releases have dates against them, some have just a month and year, but they all have more detail than just the year offered by the API.
I thought it would be an interesting project to have a small app to notify you each day what items in your collection were released on that day in history (if any). But I can't see any for dates in the API, only the release year.
Is there a way to get at this data that I've missed?
The full release JSON from the API has separate fields for what appears under "Released" on the website (which could be a specific day, a month or a year), and the release year (four-digit year regardless of what appears under "Released").
The catch is that to get the full json, you have to request each release individually by release ID. If you request the releases in one of your collection folders, each release object in the json has a "basic_information" object within it with only the "year" value alongside title, artist(s), label(s), genre/style, etc.
