In the Musixmatch API documentation it is said
Get an album from our database: name, release_date, release_type,
cover art.
In the JSON response example there is also "album_coverart_100x100",
but when I'm making an API call, in the response there is no image availible.
You can get an album art field as the response of album.get, but not from track.search. So if you're trying to show the album art for a result that the user has searched for, you might want to make another api call to album.get and get the value of the key album_coverart_100x100 for the url of the album art.

Do you think we could use the YouTube Data API to get to know which products have any YouTube review/video. Then paired with our system via, for instance, Video Name?
Your question isn't very clear. However, you want to try this.
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list#try-it
You can set type to snippet and q to the words you want to search for.
Is it possible to make a request to get a spotify track and also request that the artist object contains their avatar?
Sample request https://api.spotify.com/v1/tracks/60EtWSoDRJSFmg99MKZi0x
Is it possible to get the artist's avatar url in the artist object?
No. You need to make another request. Embedded artist objects (in tracks and albums) all seem to be of the simplified type, which do not include images of the artist. See: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/object-model/
Fetch https://api.spotify.com/v1/tracks/60EtWSoDRJSFmg99MKZi0x

Looking through the Soundcloud documentation - it doesn't appear that you can pull the artist name and the song name separately (or am I missing something?):
http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/reference#playlists
ie:
for song https://soundcloud.com/yaz-francis-1/pompeii-bastille
Artist: Bastille
Song: Pompeii
Is it just combined in the tracktitle (title)? User is also not always the song artist name, but the username of the person who posted it to soundcloud.
If not, is there anyway to pull Artist Name and Song separately?
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
Best,
JP
Well the API doesn't give you the fields separately, but depending on your application there might be a way to get that data anyway.
I have written a webapp using the Soundcloud API and I am actually extracting the artist name separately. If you're interested, I can tell you howI did it.
You need to apply some NLP-tricks and use regular expressions.
I'm in the process of building a Web app for a client who owns a record label and wants to publish 5000+ songs of varying artists and albums. I have diaected the api to death and found the best way to tie a track to an artist is by using tags. This way you can also search by the artist name and get results in the api. In my particular case I am using machine tags to store the artist, album and track name. I also store another tag as a key for finding only tracks that match that key so on my Web app I don't get tracks from other users, since you can't filter results by tags and genre when getting tracks from a specific user.
It's a but messy but it works. So something like this to get all songs by this artist on my Web app from a specific users account
/tracks.json?client_id=xxx&q=app:key=uniqueid&tags=app:artist=artist+name
You can also throw genre in there too if you wanted. Hope this was helpful
I'm new to the YouTube Rest API v3 and I'm trying to see if there's a way to list every video in a specific category. The best I've been able to get is this:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&chart=mostPopular®ionCode=US&videoCategoryId=17&key={MY API KEY}
category ID 17 is equal to 'Sports' (and of course there is pagination on the API response which is fine). The problem is that in order to use the parameter 'videoCategoryID', I also am required to use the parameter 'chart' and then only acceptable value for 'chart' is 'mostPopular' according to this page:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/list
I'm wondering if there is a way to get a list of the videos in a specific category (all videos not just Most Popular)?
There was this Stack Overflow post but it's for YouTube API v2 (Getting a complete list of all YouTube videos in a given category).
Thanks for your help!
Try search and add type=video in order to list just videos
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&type=video&videoCategoryId=17&key={YOUR API KEY}
I'm using the itunes enterprise api and I'm trying to use it to extract information on certain artists.
Reading their little guide on how to use it, they give an example url of
https://itunes.apple.com/artist/scritti-politti/id614113
which returns the exact data I need, the thing is I'm not sure where to find the artist id, is there any way I can do a search based on simply the artist name? Or do a search somewhere based on the artist name to find the artist id and then use it in this url.
Thanks
First I used this url
http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/wa/itmsSearch?lang=1&output=json&country=US&term=rhianna&media=music&limit=1
were rhianna can be replaced with whatever artist you're looking up,
from that I can extract the artist id from artistLinkUrl and then make the request using that artist id in the enterprise api.
