How it works

Three steps to music data

From sign-up to your first API response in under a minute.

1

Get your API key

Sign up for free — no credit card, no approval process. Your key is ready immediately.

2

Make your first call

Search tracks, look up an ISRC, or resolve cross-platform IDs. One endpoint, one header, instant results.

3

Build your product

ISRC, genre, release dates and cross-platform links — all at your fingertips.

Audio recognition

Identify any track from audio

Send a clip — or a Chromaprint fingerprint — and get the matching track back with ISRC, artist, release, genre and cross-platform IDs, across 90M+ tracks.

  • One REST call: POST audio or a fingerprint
  • We fingerprint server-side — no client setup
  • Returns a plain track, same shape as search
  • No-code Identify tool in your dashboard

bash
curl -X POST https://api.sonovault.now/v1/tracks/identify \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
  --data-binary @clip.mp3

#     { "title": "...", "artists": [...], "isrc": "..." } ] }
Broadcast monitoring

Know what's playing on any stream

Register a live radio or broadcast stream URL and we recognise every track as it airs — a timestamped now-playing log with ISRC, artist, release and cross-platform IDs.

  • One call to register a stream URL
  • We monitor it around the clock — no audio to upload
  • Poll the current track or the full history
  • No-code Stream Monitoring tool in your dashboard

bash
curl -X POST https://api.sonovault.now/v1/streams \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://stream.example.com/radio.mp3"}'


# Then poll what's playing:
# GET /v1/streams/{id}  ->  { "now_playing": { "track": {...} } }
No-code tool

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

SonoVault provides structured metadata for over 90 million tracks. Catalog data is aggregated from open sources (Discogs, MusicBrainz) and enriched with cross-platform track IDs from Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and Beatport. For every track you get title, artist credits, label, release date, ISRC, duration, and genre/subgenre tags, plus matching IDs on every supported platform and ISWC work-code lookup to map recordings to their underlying compositions. All data is accessible via a single REST API with JSON responses and API key authentication.
Yes — 1,000 requests per month for search, ISRC lookup, and platform links. Browse and new releases require a paid plan. No credit card required.
For most endpoints, one request = one credit — a search returning 100 tracks still counts as one, not 100. A few endpoints that do more work cost more credits: bulk resolve is 1 credit per input line, and audio recognition (POST /v1/tracks/identify) is 10 credits per fingerprint, or 10 + 1-per-MB when you upload a raw audio file. The response includes a credits_charged field so you always know.
Requests over your monthly quota — or any single call that would cost more credits than you have left — return a 429 error. We don’t automatically charge overages — you’ll need to upgrade to a higher tier.
No credit card is required. The free tier gives you 1,000 API requests per month — enough to build a prototype, test integrations, or evaluate the data quality before committing to a paid plan. Sign up at sonovault.now, click the verification link we email you (required before any /v1 request will succeed), then grab your API key from the dashboard and start calling the track search, ISRC lookup, and platform links endpoints. See /pricing for full plan details.
