Soundstripe

Soundstripe is a Nashville-based subscription platform that licenses royalty-free music, sound effects, and stock video to creators, agencies, podcasters, filmmakers, and enterprises. The catalog spans roughly 120,000 human-made tracks from Grammy-winning and independent artists, nearly 100,000 sound effects, and 100,000+ stock video clips (HD through 8K) — all pre-cleared under a single digital license that covers YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, podcasting, and commercial use, with stems and cut-downs available for many songs. Soundstripe also publishes a server-to-server REST API at api.soundstripe.com (JSON:API, token auth, 25 req/sec, signed webhooks) that exposes songs, sound effects, playlists, private playlists, and "Supe" — an AI music supervisor that matches catalog tracks to natural-language briefs, scene context, and reference imagery via asynchronous search and asset upload endpoints. Native integrations exist for Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Express, and Twitch; partner programs cover API embedding, music resale, and custom licensing for tool makers and platforms.

Soundstripe publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Categories API, Playlists API, Private Playlists API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Music, Sound Effects, Stock Video, Royalty Free, and Licensing.

Soundstripe’s developer surface includes authentication, signup flow, pricing, engineering blog, YouTube channel, and 19 more developer resources.
