Soundcharts API provides real-time music data via a REST interface. Access is managed through two mandatory HTTP headers:

  • x-app-id identifies your application and permissions;

  • x-api-key authenticates your specific user.

Test the Sandbox (free & instant)

The Sandbox is a restricted dataset designed for development and integration testing. No registration is required to start.

Base URL (technical):

https://customer.api.soundcharts.com

Credentials:

App ID: soundcharts
API key: soundcharts

To explore endpoints without writing code, use the "Try it out" button for each endpoint in our API documentation.

Get a free Production token (1,000 requests)

If you need to test with real-world data beyond the Sandbox limits, you can generate a production token for free (no credit card required).

Base URL (technical):

https://customer.api.soundcharts.com

Here are the steps to follow to retrieve your credentials:

  1. Log in/sign up on the documentation.

  2. Once logged in, go to your personal dashboard to find your unique x-app-id and x-api-key.

  3. Start building - these credentials give you 1,000 free requests to the production environment.

To explore endpoints without writing code, use the "Try it out" button for each endpoint in our API documentation, once logged in.

Full Production access

You can subscribe directly in-app through your dashboard. Once you subscribe, your credentials will stay the same. Our monthly plans are commitment-free, allowing you to cancel at any time.

Note: Dashboard subscriptions do not automatically include API access, though bundled discounts are available.

For specific data needs or any questions, please fill out the API form. Our team will get back to you immediately.
