Documentation
The musiccloud API turns a single music link into every platform. Resolve a track or album from one streaming service to its matches across the others, pull rich artist info, and explore a free-to-use Creative Commons catalogue — all over one REST API.
What you can build
One key gives you three capabilities, each a JSON REST endpoint:
- Link resolve. Match a track, album, or artist from one streaming service to the same release everywhere else.
- Artist info. Top tracks, similar artists, and upcoming events for any matched artist.
- Creative Commons. Search and resolve the free-to-use Jamendo catalogue for tracks you can use openly.
Getting started
Four steps take you from zero to your first call.
-
Create a developer account
Sign up with your email or GitHub to get a developer account on the portal.
-
Request API access
From your dashboard, request access to the musiccloud API for your account.
-
Receive an API key
Once access is granted, an API key is issued to your account for authenticating requests.
-
Call the API
Send your key in the request header and start resolving links and fetching artist info.
Self-service API-access management is being finalised — the request flow will appear in your dashboard shortly. Create your account now so you are ready the moment it opens.
