Questions

Are the links for my country?

Links point at the catalogue the search was made against. In the API you can set the region.

Can I get a full track list for an album?

The album endpoint in the API returns it. This tool lists search results.

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/search 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.
