Shazam Charts Scraper

Pull trending tracks straight from Shazam's charts at scale — chart rank, title, artist, album, genre, ISRC recording codes, 600×600 cover art, Apple Music and Shazam links, and release dates for every song people are discovering right now. Coverage spans the Global Top 200, 69 country charts, 168 city charts, and 17 genre charts, in both most-Shazamed and viral/rising flavors. Built for A&R scouts, playlist curators, and music-data analysts who need to catch breakout songs early — market by market — without checking hundreds of chart pages by hand.

Why This Scraper?

• 70 markets of country coverage — the Global (World) chart plus 69 individual country charts spanning six continents, from the United States, Japan, and Germany to Brazil, Nigeria, Kenya, Kazakhstan, and the United Arab Emirates — including deep African and Eastern-European markets most chart tools skip. Pull one market or all of them in a single run.
• 168 city-level charts — see what's trending block by block in London, New York City, Tokyo, São Paulo, and 160-plus more cities, so you can spot a track breaking in one metro before it goes national.
• 17 genre charts — Pop, Hip-Hop / Rap, Dance, Electronic, House, Rock, Alternative, Latin, R&B / Soul, Country, K-Pop, Afrobeats, French Pop, Reggae / Dancehall, Singer-Songwriter, Film TV & Stage, and Worldwide.
• Top Tracks and Viral / Rising in one actor — collect the most-Shazamed chart or the fast-rising viral chart with a single dropdown; viral surfaces songs on the way up before they peak.
• ISRC recording code on every track — the industry-standard identifier that lets you join Shazam discovery data directly to your own catalog, licensing system, or royalty database with no fuzzy title matching.
• Apple Music and Shazam links per track — a ready-to-open Apple Music URL and a Shazam song URL for every row, so listening or verifying a discovery is one click away.
• Global Top 200 depth — country and world Top charts run a full 200 positions deep, far past the front-page top 10, so you catch songs still climbing the ranking.
• Localized text in 12 languages — return track and artist text in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, or Turkish.
• 600×600 cover art URLs — full-resolution artwork for every track, ready to drop into dashboards, pitch decks, or playlist thumbnails.

Tips for Best Results

• Start with a single chart — run the Global Top 200 first to confirm the data fits your needs, then scale up to more countries, cities, and genres.
• Viral is country- and world-level only — the viral / rising chart exists for whole countries and the Global chart, not per city or per genre. If you add a city or genre with the viral chart type, that combination is collected as Top Tracks instead.
• Genres vary by country — each country publishes only a subset of the 17 genres; the Global (World) chart offers all of them. Unsupported country + genre combinations are skipped automatically, so you can request broadly without errors.
• Use ISRC as your join key — match Shazam discovery data to your own catalog, royalty, or licensing database on the ISRC code instead of fuzzy title-and-artist matching.
• Set maxTracksPerChart to control cost — the top of the chart is where breakout signals live. Cap at 50–100 to focus on climbers, or set 0 to pull every position.
• Localize for local markets — match the language to the market you're studying (e.g. Japanese for Japan, Portuguese for Brazil) so track and artist text reads naturally.
• Add cities to catch songs early — a track often breaks in one metro before it charts nationally, so the 168 city charts are your earliest signal for A&R and forecasting.
