🎧 Openverse Audio Scraper

Want Openverse audio records in a spreadsheet? This scraper makes it easy.

Use structured filters — better for AI agents — or paste an input_url. When input_url is set it overrides the filters.

Openverse searches openly licensed audio and shows the title, creator, license, source, and duration. This actor returns up to 2000 rows per run. When that listing does not answer, the actor reads Freesound, Wikimedia Commons, and Jamendo, the catalogs behind it.

💡 Perfect for...

  • Creators: Find openly licensed music and sound with a credit line.
  • Producers: Export audio by length and source.
  • Data analysts: Slice a search by license or category.
  • 🤖 AI Agents: Power Claude, Cursor, Codex, the Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw workflows with live results.

✨ Why you'll love this scraper

  • 🔗 Input URL or Filters: Paste a Openverse URL, or type the same filters as the site. input_url always wins when set.
  • 🎯 Website-Matched Filters: Words, license, category, source, length, and file type.
  • 🌐 Listing rows: Title, creator, license, source, duration, and file link.
