What can I get

• 🎧 The song in any clip — title, artist, Shazam key, Apple Music id, ISRC, album, label, genre & release date
• 🎯 Where the clip plays — the offset in the song, plus every alignment match Shazam returned
• 🔗 Ready-to-use links — Shazam page, Apple Music listen link, 30-second preview, cover art
• 💸 No match, no charge — files Shazam can't recognize are never billed

Why Shazam Song Recognition

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 Song Recognition is scraped live on every run, priced honestly, and actively maintained.

FAQ

Which files work?

Any direct http(s) link to an audio or video file up to 30 MB — mp3, m4a, aac, ogg, opus, wav, flac, mp4, webm and more. Links to web pages (YouTube, TikTok, Spotify pages) are not audio files.

How long should my clip be?

10–30 seconds is plenty. The Actor listens to 12 seconds by default (what the Shazam app sends). For long recordings it tries the middle first, then the start; set Start At to point it at a known spot.

What if a song is not recognized?

Nothing is pushed and you are not charged. Try a cleaner part of the recording with Start At, or a longer Listen For.

What does it cost?

$0.002 per recognized song — $2 per 1,000, flat on every plan, no start fee, and no charge for files with no match.

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 get lyrics, BPM or charts for the recognized songs?

Yes — pass the shazam_key to our Shazam Scraper with Scrape Full Song Details on.
