Soundstripe
Soundstripe API

Server-to-server REST API for embedding the Soundstripe catalog into creator tools, editing suites, and platforms. JSON:API responses, token authentication via the Authorization header, and 25 requests per second. Endpoints cover song retrieval, sound-effect listing, categories, curated playlists, private (user-scoped) playlist management, and the Supe AI search workflow (asset upload, natural-language search, signed webhook delivery of matched songs with audio files and artists).
