This Shazam Song Detector API identifies songs from audio recordings and returns detailed information about the detected track. It is designed to recognize music from short audio samples, recordings, or other supported audio sources and match them against a large music database.
When an audio sample is submitted, the API analyzes its acoustic characteristics and searches for matching recordings. When a match is found, the response provides information that can be used to identify and enrich the detected song. This can include the track title, artist, album, release information, genre, unique identifiers, artwork, and additional metadata.
In addition to basic song information, responses may include links and references to music platforms and other services, allowing applications to connect users with the identified track. Depending on the available metadata, results can include streaming or search links, cover artwork, artist images, sharing information, and related track resources.
The API returns detailed song information, including the track title, artist, album, genre, release year, cover art, and links to music platforms. It also provides metadata such as unique identifiers and recognition results from audio samples.
Key fields in the response include "title," "subtitle" (artist), "album," "images" (cover art), "genre," "release year," and "ISRC." Additionally, it includes "matches" for recognition results and "location" for accuracy details.
The response is structured in a JSON format, with a top-level "status" field indicating success, followed by a "result" object containing "matches," "location," and "track" details. Each match includes specific recognition data, while the track object holds comprehensive song information.
The API provides information such as track title, artist name, album details, genre classification, release year, cover artwork, and links to streaming services. It also includes metadata like ISRC codes and recognition accuracy.
The primary parameter for the POST Song Detection endpoint is the audio sample itself, which should be in a supported format. Users can customize their requests by adjusting the audio length and quality to improve recognition accuracy.
Data accuracy is maintained through a robust matching algorithm that analyzes acoustic characteristics of audio samples against a large music database. Continuous updates and quality checks ensure that the database remains current and reliable.
Typical use cases include music identification in apps, enhancing user experiences in music discovery platforms, and integrating song recognition features in social media applications. It can also be used for creating playlists based on recognized tracks.
If the API returns partial or empty results, users should check the audio quality and length of the sample submitted. Adjusting these parameters may improve recognition. Additionally, users can implement fallback mechanisms to prompt users for clearer audio samples.
