The data

Apple Music data,
ready to work with.

An Apple Music search result can identify a song, album or artist, but the detail operations answer different questions. Album opens a release with its artist, track list, genre and release date; track gives a selected recording’s duration and album context. The Discovery example is a recorded Daft Punk album response, with one track selected for the preview. Catalogue prices and availability depend on the storefront and observation date, so do not use an archived amount as a purchase quote. Monocrawl returns the supported public metadata as JSON; it does not provide full-song playback or a listener’s private library.

What Apple Music operations can I use?

The catalogue shows 4 currently available operations with their individual prices. Open an endpoint for its accepted inputs, returned fields and limitations.

How do I authenticate requests?

What request limits apply?

What should I know about Apple Music coverage?
