Musescore Sheet Music Scraper

🎼 Find public Musescore sheet music

Musescore Scraper helps music researchers, teachers, repertoire planners, and developers find public sheet music on Musescore. Search by plain terms or public listing URLs, then get one structured row for each accepted score with its link, title, publisher, cover image, visible details, counts, tags, difficulty, instruments, and source position.

For a quick first run, use the prefilled golden hour piano search term, the golden hour listing URL, and the default limit of 25 rows.

• Build a classical repertoire list with Classical Sheet Music.
• Find easier piano arrangements for lessons or practice with Easy Piano Sheet Music.
• Collect public violin scores for repertoire planning with Violin Sheet Music.
• Gather guitar scores for a practice list with Guitar Sheet Music.
• Find piano scores for a lesson or catalog list with Piano Sheet Music.
• Search a broad public sheet music collection with Sheet Music.

📦 Public Musescore score rows

Each saved row represents one accepted public Musescore score. When the same score appears through another submitted search or URL, the Actor saves the first eligible occurrence and ignores later matches. It does not merge later matches into that row. Missing scalar values are saved as null, and missing lists are saved as empty arrays, when Musescore does not show a value.

3. Run the Actor and open the default dataset.
4. Review score links, source positions, visible metadata, and public counts.
5. Export the rows or retrieve them through the Apify API.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Musescore account or API key?

No. The Actor reads public Musescore pages and does not ask for Musescore cookies, login details, or an API key. Private, logged-in-only, account-specific, and paywalled scores are not included.

Can I use Musescore URLs instead of search terms?

Yes. Add public search, sheet music, tag, or instrument listing URLs. The Actor keeps the source filters and order when they are visible in the URL.

What happens when the same score appears more than once?

The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence and ignores later matches for that score. The saved row keeps the source query or URL from the first match. It does not merge later matches into that row.

What happens when I leave Maximum results empty?

It returns all available results until the source is exhausted. Set a positive number when you want the run to stop after that many saved rows.

Does it download sheet music files?

No. It returns public metadata and links. It does not download or store PDFs, audio, MIDI, score files, or other copyrighted sheet-music assets.

What if Musescore does not show a field?

That field is saved as null, or the list is empty, instead of being guessed.

Can I use the output through an API?

Yes. Read the structured dataset through the Apify API or standard export formats. This is not an official Musescore API.
