Welcome to the eMusic Developer Network!

The eMusic API is LIVE.

The eMusic API allows registered developers and eMusic affiliate partners to build their own eMusic-integrated applications. The API provides simple methods that developers can use to tap into our unique functionality and rich data sets. Using the API, developers and users can:
  • Search artists, albums, tracks and audio books.
  • Look up eMusic community and user ratings.
  • Integrate "eMusic Top 40" charts.
  • Browse our editorial content such as eMusic Editorial reviews and "Editor's Picks".
  • Gain access to album covers and song samples (subject to "terms of use").
These are just a few examples of the functionality and data that we are exposing to the greater developer community.

Additionally, we are constantly adding and refining methods. Don't hesitate to drop us a line if you have ideas for new methods! (And don't hesitate to drop us a line if you have questions or comments, too.)

Why are we doing this?

We want to help you build kick-ass music applications that benefit both our esteemed subscribers and the general music-loving community at large.

Please consider letting us know about your favorite creations? Thank you!
