Motivation edit

Genius (Q3419343) has numeric IDs for artists, albums and songs. We already have properties for the human-readable IDs; the numeric IDs are more stable, but only the song IDs have an HTML interface (they redirect to the HTML pages with the human-readable URLs). However, per this discussion, because both groups of IDs are useful and generally stable, it would be appropriate to have properties for both groups of identifiers.

For artist IDs specifically, it wouldn't be appropriate to automatically convert all uses of the existing property, because some artists, like 3 (Q2279110), have human-readable IDs which only contain numbers. (The band's numeric ID is 25614.) On the other hand, it would be possible to have a bot automatically add numeric IDs based on human-readable IDs in a separate property (the one being proposed), and vice versa; the numeric IDs can be obtained from the HTML page source.

Discussion edit

I haven't yet created property proposals for the matching genius.com/api/songs or genius.com/api/albums properties. If you would oppose creation of this property but would support creation of one or both of the properties for those, please say so. Jc86035 (talk) 17:19, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please add at least two more examples. Thanks for your proposal! --abi án 19:02, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
