Developers

Using our open API, you can add music to your website, application or device. Because we love to see creative thinking, our API is free for non-commercial use, and we offer a licensing scheme to those who wish to use the API commercially.

Music rights are a notoriously complicated business, but we’ve taken care of all that for you, securing agreements with all the major record labels, including Warner Music, Universal Music, Sony Music and EMI, plus over 100 independent imprints. Simply sign up for an API key to access the millions of songs in our catalogue.

The 7digital APIs are already powering our own websites and mobile apps, and are being used extensively by a huge range of companies, including last.fm, Samsung, Dell, Imagination Technologies and O2.

Using our developer platform you can:
  • Build applications for the web, desktop and mobile with music at the core
  • Make money with your own branded music download store
  • Create your own radio streaming service
  • Access the millions of songs in our catalogue
  • Include official sleeve artwork and audio samples
  • Have access to licensed content from major labels in over 37 major territories, including the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy.
