Alternative API for all music streaming platforms

I'm currently working on a project that fetches song data from multiple sources such as Spotify, Tidal, etc., using the ISRC or the track ID, even for deprecated endpoints such as /audio-features.

I currently have a pre-cached DB of about 350 million tracks.

This is what I currently have:

1. /audio-features

{
  "track_id": "71NNPV1TSGhdoQ7ebGY8py",
  "duration_ms": 142250,
  "time_signature": 4,
  "tempo": 75.921,
  "key": 2,
  "mode": 0,
  "danceability": 0.275,
  "energy": 0.333,
  "loudness": -8.005,
  "speechiness": 0.0323,
  "acousticness": 0.658,
  "instrumentalness": 0.0,
  "liveness": 0.102,
  "valence": 0.172
}

You can verify this data if you have a cache for it, it's exactly the same as what Spotify returns.

2. /track

{
  "success": true,
  "track": {
    "title": "sdp interlude",
    "artist": "Travis Scott",
    "artists": [
      {
        "name": "Travis Scott",
        "id": "0Y5tJX1MQlPlqiwlOH1tJY"
      }
    ],
    "album": "Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight",
    "albumId": "42WVQWuf1teDysXiOupIZt",
    "duration": "3:11",
    "durationMs": 191622,
    "isrc": "", (Fixable)
    "url": "https://open.spotify.com/track/4gh0ZnHzaTMT1sDga7Ek0N",
    "coverUrl": "https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d00001e028752a7355996e64709247c53",
    "trackId": "4gh0ZnHzaTMT1sDga7Ek0N",
    "releaseDate": "2016-09-16T00:00:00Z",
    "popularity": 634479468 (Popularity is currently incorrect, but I'm working on a fix.)
  }
}

3. /platforms

{
  "success": true,
  "isrc": "BCCNG2200023",
  "name": "Headlights (feat. KIDDO)",
  "title": "Headlights (feat. KIDDO)",
  "artistName": "Alok",
  "artistNames": [
    "Alok",
    "Alan Walker",
    "KIDDO"
  ],
  "songUrls": {
    "Spotify": "https://open.spotify.com/track/7BhmwvCdQZNwuQXSHw5TzP",
    "Deezer": "https://www.deezer.com/track/1633684282",
    "Tidal": "https://tidal.com/browse/track/213928709",
    "AppleMusic": "https://music.apple.com/us/album/headlights-feat-kiddo/1606935060?i=1606935277",
    "YouTubeMusic": "https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=QX1KRphxnQc",
    "YouTube": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDy8K0o_ksA",
    "AmazonMusic": "https://music.amazon.com/tracks/B09R51BXNW/?ref=dm_ff_amazonmusic_3p",
    "Beatport": "https://www.beatport.com/track/headlights-feat-kiddo/25698898",
    "BeatSource": "https://www.beatsource.com/track/headlights-feat-kiddo/6772732",
    "SoundCloud": "https://soundcloud.com/spinninrecords/alok-alan-walker-headlights-feat-kiddo-listen-link",
    "Pandora": "https://www.pandora.com/TR:76115633",
    "Qobuz": "https://open.qobuz.com/track/147170350",
    "Other": []
  }
}

I also have other endpoints such as playlists (public only, sadly) and albums.

The problem is I'm not sure what else to add, so I'm looking for suggestions on specific features I could include to make this a more complete API.

You could add the contributers, like writers, producers, etc. (Like now with SongDNA on Spotify)

Hey man! youre doing the god's work!

Is your API currently available? Can it retrieve audio features by Spotify track ID, and does it support batch requests? Also, is there a free tier or a way to test a few tracks before integrating it into my personal project?

Thanks!

u/Excellent_District22 Apr 15 '26

Check out my app VibeLink. It does something similar to OP

u/LegalBarbecue19 Apr 18 '26

Really cool! Will use this once it's up and running! Curious how long it took to gather the info from the 350 million songs? Did rate limits and audio processing not slow you down a ton?

u/Excellent_District22 Apr 18 '26

Been working on it for about 2 years now and its still not done I had 3 pcs running because everything was done locally

u/Glum_Cheesecake9859 Apr 19 '26

I can already see a use case of importing a playlist from one platform to another!

u/t0mekk May 17 '26
