It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Creative Commons Music Search - $0.09 per 1000 results **Creative Commons music search**: find **free-licensed music and audio** (CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC0, public domain) on **Wikimedia Commons** — and on **Jamendo** with your own free API key — with artist, licence, duration and direct audio file URL. ### What does it do? - Search Wikimedia Commons audio files via the official MediaWiki API. - Licence name, licence URL and attribution flag for every track. - Duration, MIME type, size, date and categories. - Optional Jamendo search with your own client id. ### Use cases - **Royalty-free soundtracks** for videos and podcasts. - **Datasets** of licensed audio for research. - **Attribution lists** for content teams. ### Input | Field | Description | |---|---| | `queries` | e.g. piano, jazz, birdsong | | `sources` | jamendo requires your own free client id. | | `maxItemsPerQuery` | Example: 30 | | `jamendoClientId` | Optional, from devportal.jamendo.com | Example input: ```json {} ``` ### Output Real output (first items of a run on 26 Oct 2026): ```json [ { "source": "wikimedia-commons", "id": "81097371", "title": "Outing- Chinese kids' Piano Song - Junjun's edition (selected from real piano lesson)", "artist": "Jason M.

You can also run this Actor from AI agents through the Apify MCP server. ### Pricing Pay per event: **$0.09 per 1,000 tracks** plus $0.00005 per run start. There is no extra platform usage charge. ### FAQ **Can I use the music commercially?** It depends on each file's licence; always check licenseUrl and give attribution. **Why only Wikimedia by default?** Jamendo requires a free client id that you provide. **Do you download audio?** No, only metadata and links. **Do I need a login or API key?** No. It uses the source's public API; you only need an Apify account. **Can AI agents use it?** Yes. Call it through the Apify API, or from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client via the Apify MCP server. ### Data source and license Sources: Wikimedia Commons via the MediaWiki API (each file has its own free licence) and optional Jamendo API with your own key.

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/fheojU9nyUYvAaPNY/builds/Ylyez8hVno0If9FCb/openapi.json
