Wikimedia Artist Metadata Plugin

This is a WASM plugin for Navidrome that retrieves artist information from Wikidata/DBpedia using the Wikidata SPARQL endpoint.

Implemented Methods

  • GetArtistBiography: Returns the artist's English biography/description from Wikidata.
  • GetArtistURL: Returns the artist's official website (if available) from Wikidata.
  • GetArtistImages: Returns the artist's main image (Wikimedia Commons) from Wikidata.

All other methods (GetArtistMBID, GetSimilarArtists, GetArtistTopSongs) return a "not implemented" error, as this data is not available from Wikidata/DBpedia.

How it Works

  • The plugin uses the host-provided HTTP service (HttpService) to make SPARQL queries to the Wikidata endpoint.
  • No network requests are made directly from the plugin; all HTTP is routed through the host.

Building

To build the plugin to WASM:

GOOS=wasip1 GOARCH=wasm go build -buildmode=c-shared -o plugin.wasm plugin.go

Usage

Copy the resulting plugin.wasm to your Navidrome plugins folder under a wikimedia directory.
