A music metadata API helps developers search, resolve, and enrich music catalog data. Musicfetch returns normalized metadata for tracks, albums, and artists across supported music services, so you can work with one API instead of stitching together separate platform responses.
Use Musicfetch when you need song metadata, album metadata, artist metadata, ISRC lookup, UPC lookup, artwork, release dates, durations, platform links, or service availability in a single developer workflow.
| Metadata type | Examples |
|---|
| Track metadata | Title, artists, duration, explicit flag, ISRC, artwork, album context, service links. |
| Album metadata | Album title, artists, UPC, release date, artwork, tracklist, service links. |
| Artist metadata | Artist name, images, service profile links, social links, bios, discography, videos. |
| Identifier metadata | ISRC recording identifiers and UPC release identifiers when available. |
| Platform metadata | Matching URLs, availability evidence, and source-service metadata from supported platforms. |
Which endpoint should I use?
| Endpoint | Use when you have | Best for |
|---|
| Search API | Artist, album, or song text | Finding candidate tracks, albums, or artists from a query. |
| URL lookup API | A Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, or other music-service URL | Resolving one link into normalized metadata and matching platform links. |
| ISRC lookup API | A recording identifier | Matching the same track across services. |
| UPC lookup API | An album or release identifier | Matching the same release across services. |

A music metadata API lets developers search, resolve, and enrich music catalog data such as tracks, albums, artists, identifiers, artwork, release dates, and platform links.
Musicfetch can return normalized track, album, and artist metadata, including music-service links, artwork, ISRCs, UPCs, durations, release dates, availability, and distributor evidence when available.
When should I use search, URL lookup, ISRC, or UPC lookup?
Use search when you have text, URL lookup when you have a music-service link, ISRC lookup when you have a recording identifier, and UPC lookup when you have an album or release identifier.
