🎧 Deezer Music Catalog Scraper

🚀 Search the entire Deezer catalog in seconds. Pull tracks, artists, albums, playlists, or podcasts with ISRC, BPM, preview URLs, and rich metadata. No API key, no registration, no manual paging.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-12 · 📊 Up to 38 fields per record · 🎵 100M+ tracks · 🎤 5 catalog types · 🌍 180+ countries

The Deezer Music Catalog Scraper queries Deezer's public search API across five resource types (tracks, artists, albums, playlists, podcasts) and returns clean JSON with up to 38 fields per record, including image URLs at multiple resolutions, ISRC codes, BPM, audio gain, preview MP3 URLs, contributor lists, available country codes, release dates, fan counts, and ranking scores. The catalog covers more than 100 million tracks across hundreds of millions of albums, with active maintenance for international markets including France, Brazil, Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

The Actor handles pagination, retries, and rate-limit backoff. Toggle fetchDetails for track searches and each record gains studio-grade fields (BPM, audio gain, ISRC, available countries, contributors with roles). Eleven sort orders cover ranking, alphabetical, rating, and duration variants so you can land on the exact slice you need without post-processing.

📋 What the Deezer Music Catalog Scraper does

Five filtering workflows in a single run:

• 🎵 Track search. Full-text across the song catalog with ranking, alphabetical, rating, and duration sorts.
• 🎤 Artist search. Pull artists matching your query along with fan counts, album counts, and images.
• 💿 Album search. Albums with cover art, release date, contributor list, and track counts.
• 📚 Playlist search. Public playlists with creator, track count, and cover image.
• 🎙️ Podcast search. Podcast shows with description, image, and share URL.

Each track record can include identifiers (Deezer ID, ISRC), title variants (short and version), audio details (duration, BPM, gain, preview MP3, explicit flags), artist info (ID, name, link), album info (ID, title, cover, release date), and optional contributor and country arrays when fetchDetails is enabled.

💡 Why it matters: the Deezer catalog is one of the largest open music indexes on the web. Building your own mirror means writing custom parsers, paging logic, and back-off handlers. This Actor returns ready-to-load JSON with ISRC for cross-platform matching, BPM for ML, and preview URLs you can stream directly in your app.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🧩 How does it work?

Enter a search query and pick a search type, click Start, and the Actor hits Deezer's public search API, paginates through the results, and emits a clean structured record per item. Toggle fetchDetails for tracks to add BPM, gain, ISRC, contributors, and country availability.

🎵 What's the difference between searchType track and album?

track returns individual songs with full audio metadata. album returns full album records with cover art, release date, and track count. Use track for granular catalog work and album for release-level analysis.

🔢 What is an ISRC and why does it matter?

ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is the global identifier for sound recordings. It lets you join the same song across Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and royalties databases. Every Deezer track exposes its ISRC.

🎚️ How accurate is BPM?

Deezer derives BPM via audio analysis. It is generally accurate within a few BPM for most genres. For mission-critical DJ-software use, cross-check against your own analysis pipeline.

🔁 How often is the data refreshed?

Deezer's catalog updates continuously. Every run pulls the latest catalog state, so your dataset reflects current records as of run time. Re-run for fresh preview URLs (they expire after a few hours).

⏰ Can I schedule regular runs?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run this Actor on any cron interval (hourly, daily, weekly) and keep a downstream database in sync.

⚖️ Is this data legal to use?

Deezer publishes its catalog metadata via a public API. Metadata such as titles, artists, ISRC, and durations is generally permissible to use. Audio preview clips remain copyrighted; review Deezer's terms before redistributing them.

💼 Can I use this data commercially?

Metadata can typically be used commercially for analytics, recommendations, and search features. Preview audio and cover art are subject to the licensing terms of each work and Deezer's terms of use. Consult counsel for your specific use case.

💳 Do I need a paid Apify plan to use this Actor?

No. The free Apify plan is enough for testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan lifts the limit and gives you access to scheduling, higher concurrency, and larger datasets.

🔁 What happens if a run fails or gets interrupted?

Apify automatically retries transient errors. If a run still fails, you can inspect the log in the Runs tab, fix the input, and re-run. Partial datasets from failed runs are preserved so you never lose progress.
