AudD® Music Recognition API Docs
AudD is music recognition API.
AudD Chrome extension is an example of our API application. It recognizes music from an opened tab of your browser.
The source code is available on GitHub.
You can send all the requests and all the parameters by GET and POST, in a query or a request body.
api_token — auth token (get one from our TG bot).Code examples for all the ways of sending files for PHP, Python, Go, JS, NodeJS and cURL are available HERE (click "Code examples" after signing up). Also, you can search for code examples on GitHub.
For recognize and recognizeWithOffset API methods you have to send a file for recognition. There are three ways to send files to our API:
url parameter, as a string. The parameter can be sent either in request body or query parameters, by GET or POST. This way is highly recommended. If the file is available by URL, it's the easiest way to send it.file parameter, by POST. Recommended using if the file is not available by a URL (for example, if they are recorded locally or are not on a server).audio parameter, as a string, by POST. Not a recommended way, but supported and can be useful in some applications (usually front-end).wss://api.audd.io/ws/?api_token=[token] and send multiple requests (with files in binary form) without waiting for server's responses/results.
Code examples for all the public API methods for PHP, Python, Go, JS, NodeJS and cURL are available HERE.
recognize is the default API method. It is for standard music recognition working like Shazam. Params:
return — field with comma-separated names of what you want to be returned. Example: timecode,lyrics,apple_music,deezer,spotify. timecode (time in the recognized song when the fragment is being played), song_link (a lis.tn link like lis.tn/Warriors), lyrics (lyrics and additional metadata, sometimes not accurate), apple_music (Apple Music data and links, accurate), spotify (Spotify data and links, accurate), deezer (Deezer data and links, accurate), napster (Napster data and links, accurate), deezer (Deezer data and links, accurate), itunes (iTunes data and links, sometimes not accurate; use apple_music instead).market — country code for Apple Music, iTunes and Spotify results. Default: us. Example: es.recognizeWithOffset is the method for recognition by humming/singing. The method hasn't additional fields (you must only send a file and specify method). It can work inaccurately.
findLyrics is the method for lyrics searching. Param:
q — search query. Song title and artist or an excerpt from the lyrics.All the API responses contain status field, which is "success" if everything is OK or "error" if there's been an error. In case of success requests, the result field is returned.
recognize method returns the result which is either null (means that there's no result) or a structure with artist, title, album, release_date and label fields, and also all the data requested by the return parameter. Look at the example: api.audd.io/?url=https://audd.tech/example1.mp3&return=timecode,song_link,lyrics,apple_music,deezer,spotify,napster.
For recognizeWithOffser method, look at the example: api.audd.io/recognizeWithOffset/?url=https://audd.tech/example_h1.ogg.
For findLyrics method, look at the example: api.audd.io/findLyrics/?q=Adele Hello.
