iTunes & Apple Music Search

Search or look up Apple's iTunes catalogue — music, podcasts, audiobooks, movies, TV shows, ebooks and apps — and get clean, normalized JSON. No API key, no account, no OAuth, and no anti-bot: it uses Apple's public iTunes Search API.

What it does

  • Search by term across any part of the catalogue (songs, albums, artists, podcasts, movies, TV, ebooks, apps).
  • Look up exact items by iTunes ID, UPC or ISBN.
  • Returns one clean schema regardless of media type: title, artist/author, album/show, release date, genre, price, content rating, artwork, 30-second preview, Apple store link — plus the RSS feed URL for podcasts.

Input

FieldDescription
modesearch (query by text) or lookup (by ID/UPC/ISBN).
termsSearch terms, one per line (mode = search).
idsiTunes IDs, UPCs or ISBNs (mode = lookup).
mediamusic, podcast, audiobook, movie, tvShow, ebook, software or all.
entityOptional finer type (e.g. song, album, musicArtist, podcastEpisode).
countryTwo-letter iTunes store code (e.g. US, GB, SE).
limitResults per term (1–200).
maxConcurrencyParallel requests. Keep low — Apple throttles the API (~20 req/min).

Example

{
"mode": "search",
"terms": ["Taylor Swift", "The Daily podcast"],
"media": "music",
"country": "US",
"limit": 25
}

Output

One normalized item per result in the dataset:

{
"query": "Taylor Swift",
"kind": "song",
"itunesId": 1700148500,
"name": "Cruel Summer",
"artist": "Taylor Swift",
"collection": "Lover",
"releaseDate": "2019-08-23T07:00:00Z",
"primaryGenre": "Pop",
"country": "USA",
"priceUsd": 1.29,
"currency": "USD",
"artworkUrl": "https://.../600x600bb.jpg",
"previewUrl": "https://.../preview.m4a",
"storeUrl": "https://music.apple.com/us/album/...",
"feedUrl": null
}

Pricing

Pay per use: one charge per search term or lookup request processed (not per item), so cost is predictable no matter how many results come back.

Notes

  • Apple's iTunes Search API is public and rate-limited (~20 requests/minute). Keep concurrency low for large lists.
  • Podcast results include the feedUrl so you can read the show's RSS directly.
  • Movie and TV results include Apple's buy/rent catalogue entries and store links.
