ReccoBeats

ReccoBeats is a free music recommendation and database API service. It exposes a REST API over a database of millions of tracks, artists, and albums, and a machine-learning recommendation engine that suggests tracks from seed tracks, artists, or albums. ReccoBeats also extracts Spotify-style audio features - acousticness, danceability, energy, instrumentalness, liveness, loudness, speechiness, tempo, and valence - either for a catalog track by ID or directly from an uploaded audio file. Resources can be addressed by ReccoBeats UUID or by Spotify ID, and the API requires no API key or authentication.

ReccoBeats publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Album API, Artist API, Audio Analysis API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Music, Recommendations, Audio Features, Audio Analysis, and Music Database.

ReccoBeats’ developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, and 6 more developer resources.
