*Search Apple Music*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | Search terms — e.g. `daft punk` |
| `type` | no | Restrict results: artist, album, or track (omit for all music) — e.g. `artist` |
| `limit` | no | Max results, 1-50 (default 25) — e.g. `25` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. — e.g. `1` |

**Cost:** 3 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
