musiccloud / developer

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 of it runs over one REST API.

What you can build

One key gives you three capabilities, each a JSON REST endpoint:

Getting started

Four steps take you from zero to your first call.

  1. 1

    Create a developer account

    Sign up with your email or GitHub to get a developer account on the portal.

  2. 2

    Request API access

    From your dashboard, request access to the musiccloud API for your account.

  3. 3

    Receive an API key

    Once access is granted, an API key is issued to your account for authenticating requests.

  4. 4

    Call the API

    Send your key in the request header and start resolving links and fetching artist info.

The whole flow is self-service: request access, receive your key, and manage it, all from your dashboard. The API is free while we build it out; see pricing for our written commitment.
