Find a YouTube video from a Spotify link by API

Give the Musicfetch URL lookup API a Spotify track URL and request YouTube. When Musicfetch identifies the matching recording on YouTube, the response contains its video link and normalized track metadata.

How to use Musicfetch API to get a YouTube link from Spotify

Use the /url endpoint with a Spotify track URL and set services=youtube in the query. You can use any supported Spotify track link. See the URL lookup API docs for more details.

How reliable is the song-link match?

Match quality depends on the metadata available for the source track and whether the same recording exists on YouTube. Check the returned artist and track title before publishing the link, especially when a song has live, remastered, clean, explicit, or alternate versions. If Musicfetch cannot find a suitable YouTube result, the response will not contain a destination-service link.
