Shazam Rate Limits
ShazamKit (Apple's official framework) does not publish explicit rate limits; usage is bounded by Apple Developer Program terms. The third-party Shazam REST API on RapidAPI enforces per-minute rate limits that vary by subscription tier (60 req/min on Basic and Pro; 120 req/min on Pro Plus and Premium; 240 req/min on Elite and Ultimate) plus monthly quota caps. Exceeding limits returns HTTP 429. Only successful HTTP 200 responses count against monthly quotas.
Shazam Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Shazam on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.
It captures 11 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.
The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled.
Tagged areas include Music, Audio Recognition, Song Identification, Charts, and RapidAPI.
