TheAudioDB API serves artist and album metadata together with biographies, artwork and discography information.
The information on this page was compiled from the provider's own sources, but the record has not been through full editorial review. Verify access conditions and limits against the provider's current documentation. Records in this state are not indexed by search engines.
Our review criteriaCatalog notes to consider when evaluating the integration, in addition to the provider documentation.
The key is part of the URL path rather than a query parameter; the value 2 used in the examples is the shared test key published in the documentation, not a real secret, and being shared its rate limit can fill quickly. Album search can return a very large payload — over two hundred and seventy kilobytes in our test — so narrow and cache the results. A miss returns null in the relevant field rather than an error, so branch on the body rather than the HTTP status. Biography fields carry several languages but Turkish is not present on every record. Endpoints were verified with the test key on 2026-08-22.
