v1-alpha.1

Information, documentation for Songlink's public API, currently on version 1-alpha.1.

What is an alpha release?

I'm not sure. 😅 This is our first attempt at opening up our data with an API, so I suspect we'll want to improve things as we learn about how developers use it or want to use it. We've labeled this as an "alpha" version meaning things may break or change, but we'll do our best to communicate those changes.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] with feedback or suggestions.

Versioning

This is the documentation for Songlink API version 1-alpha.1. The API request and response structures may change. In the case of breaking changes, a new version of the API will be supported.

Requests to the API should specify the version of the API you'd like to consume:

curl -X GET "<https://api.song.link/{{VERSION}}/links?..."

e.g. for v1-alpha.1:

curl -X GET "<https://api.song.link/v1-alpha.1/links?.>.."
