Is there a Shazam-Like API?

10.6k views Asked by At

I write programs using Apple's Siri Shortcuts, and I am looking for an API or any way that can be used to identify a song playing in the background.

Is there any software that can do this? If not, is there a way to write a Shortcut that IDs a song?

Thank you!

Check out Gracenote:

" Gracenote (which is owned by Sony) has opened up it's SDKs and APIs and has a proper dev portal. You can check out the app "Track ID" on Play Store which I am sure will give you better results than Shazam or Soundhound. Track ID uses the Gracenote services. Having access to the huge Sony Music collection, Gracenote does a much better job of ACR than Shazam (especially, me being Indian, I find Gracenote recognising a lot of Hindi, Bengali, Tamil songs, which Shazam or Soundhound only are able to recognise English ones)."
