## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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

## Shazam Scraper

Shazam Scraper by Omkar Cloud gets you 🎯 accurate, 🔍 detailed Shazam data.

Search Shazam's catalog, or paste songs, artists and albums, and get every song as clean JSON — Shazam key, Apple Music id, ISRC, album with UPC, label, composers, duration, genres, preview and artwork. Flip one switch and each song also comes with **time-synced lyrics, BPM and the most-Shazamed seconds** — data no other Shazam scraper has — so you can successfully complete your project.

**$1 per 1,000 songs.** And with Apify's free plan you get $5 of credit every month, so your first **~5,000 songs each month are free**.

This is an excellent Actor made by Omkar Cloud, which is Rated Excellent — [4.7 based on 30 reviews on Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/omkar.cloud).

👉 [**Try Shazam Scraper free**](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/shazam-scraper) — your first ~5,000 songs are Free.

### What can I get

- 🔍 **Search 100M+ songs** — by title, artist or lyric fragment, with Shazam keys on every song
- 🎵 **Full song details** — ISRC, album with UPC & copyright, label, composers, release date, duration, genres, preview & artwork
- 📝 **Lyrics, BPM & hot spots on demand** — time-synced lyrics by section, audio analysis (BPM, energy, danceability, valence) and the most-Shazamed seconds this week
- 🎤 **Whole artists & albums** — an artist's top songs, ranked, or every track of an album

### Why Shazam Scraper

Most other Shazam scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

- 🗄️ **Inaccurate, cached, stale data**
- 🧩 **Low-detail data** — a title and an artist, never the ISRC, album, label or lyrics
- 💸 **Pay more to get the same data** — start fees, tiers and paid "enrichment" events
- 🪦 **Works today, breaks next month** — nobody maintains it

Shazam Scraper is scraped live on every run, priced honestly, and actively maintained.

*Trimmed for readability — the real row lists every lyric line, all ~30 five-second popular segments, the full album and artist records, artwork in any size and the preview link. Without **Scrape Full Song Details** the row is the song record (ISRC, album, composers, duration, genres, preview, artwork) without lyrics, audio analysis and popular segments.*

### FAQ

#### What can I paste as a song?

A Shazam key (`503576063`), an ISRC (`USUG11904206`), an Apple song id as `apple:1499378607`, or a shazam.com / music.apple.com song link. Pasted songs are always scraped in full, at the detailed rate.

#### What does "Scrape Full Song Details" add?

Label, the full album record (UPC, copyright, track count), the artists, plus three things only Shazam's song pages have: `lyrics` (time-synced, line by line, grouped into Verse, Chorus and Bridge), `audio_analysis` (BPM, energy, danceability, valence, acousticness, melodicness — Shazam marks it AI-generated) and `popular_segments` (Shazam counts per five seconds of the song over the past week). Instrumentals come back with `lyrics: null`.

#### How many songs do I get per search?

Up to **Max Songs per Input** per search query, artist or album. Songs found twice in a run — a pasted song that also shows up in a search — are scraped and billed only once.

#### Is the data live?

Yes. Every run reads Shazam live, so new releases, lyrics and this week's popular segments are as fresh as Shazam itself.

#### What does it cost?

$0.001 per song — $1 per 1,000, flat on every plan, with no start fee. Full details add $0.002 per song ($3 per 1,000 all in), charged only when the details come back — otherwise you keep the standard row at the standard rate. Apify's free plan gives you $5 of credit every month, which is 5,000 songs or ~1,666 fully-detailed songs free every month.

#### Is it legal to scrape Shazam?

The Actor collects publicly available music data — song, album, artist, chart and concert information — without personal data. Please review Shazam's terms of use and make sure your use complies with the law of your jurisdiction.

#### Can I recognize songs from audio, or get charts and concerts?

Yes — with our sibling Actors: [Shazam Song Recognition](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/shazam-song-recognition), [Shazam Charts Scraper](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/shazam-charts-scraper) and [Shazam Concerts Scraper](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/shazam-concerts-scraper).

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Song titles, artists or lyric fragments to search, one per entry — e.g. `Blinding Lights`, `Taylor Swift`, `river flows in you`.

## `songUrls` (type: `array`):

Shazam keys (`503576063`), ISRCs (`USUG11904206`), Apple song ids as `apple:1499378607`, or shazam.com / music.apple.com song links like `https://www.shazam.com/track/503576063/blinding-lights`. Always scraped with full details (billed at the detailed-song rate).

## `artistUrls` (type: `array`):

Apple artist ids (`479756766`) or shazam.com / music.apple.com artist links like `https://www.shazam.com/artist/the-weeknd/479756766`. Each returns the artist's top songs, ranked.

## `albumUrls` (type: `array`):

Apple album ids (`1499378108`), UPC barcodes, or shazam.com / music.apple.com album links. Each returns every track of the album.

## `country` (type: `string`):

2-letter country code of the Apple Music storefront the metadata is read from, e.g. `US`, `GB`, `IN`, `DE`. Shazam keys, ISRCs and ids are the same everywhere.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of songs to scrape per search query, artist or album. Use this to control your cost (1,000 songs ≈ $1). Ignored for songs pasted above.

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, every song found is also scraped in full — label, album with UPC and copyright, artists, composers, plus time-synced lyrics grouped by section, Shazam's audio analysis (BPM, energy, danceability, valence, acousticness, melodicness) and the most-Shazamed seconds of the song this week. Still one dataset row per song, billed once at the detailed-song rate instead of the standard rate (1,000 detailed songs ≈ $3 vs $1 standard). Runs take longer because each song is fetched individually.
