What you get

What Apple's catalogue holds about a release.

  • ISRC codes

    One per recording, for every track of an album.

  • UPC codes

    One per release, beside the label and the date.

  • Songwriters

    The writers Apple lists for each song.

It cannot show

  • Animated covers

    The moving artwork some albums have is not one of the sizes.

FAQ

Questions

How big is the artwork?

Each cover links to 600, 1200 and 3000 pixel copies. Apple sends the size asked for, up to the largest copy the label supplied, so an older release can top out lower.

What is an ISRC?

The International Standard Recording Code: 12 characters given to one recording, such as USUG11901471. Labels, distributors and royalty services use it to tell recordings apart.

How do I find a song's ISRC?

Choose Songs and search the title and artist, and the code sits in the table. Or open an album to see the ISRC of every track, and save them as a CSV.

What is a UPC?

The barcode number of a release, such as an album or a single. Each album in the results shows it.

Can I get every cover by one artist?

Yes. Press the artist's name, or paste their Apple Music link, for a wall of their albums and singles with sizes to save.

Why choose a store?

Apple's catalogue differs a little by country, and some releases are only in one store. The covers are the same everywhere.

Can I use the artwork I save?

The artwork belongs to the artist or label. Saving it for a playlist, a music library or a review is common; printing or selling it needs their permission.

Is this tool free?

Yes. No account and no card. Each visitor gets a limited number of lookups an hour, so it stays free for everyone.

How do I get this data in my own app?

Send GET /v1/apple-music/album with your key in the x-api-key header. A request costs 1 credit. A repeat of something fetched recently costs 0 credits, and failed requests are free. See the reference.
