API

Access Deezer's music catalog and user data via RESTful API

Overview

The Deezer API is a RESTful service providing access to Deezer’s extensive music catalog (tracks, albums, artists, playlists) and user data. Endpoints support search, filtering, and retrieval of metadata (track duration, album art, artist biographies) and user-specific actions (playlist management via OAuth2). Responses are JSON-formatted. Use cases include building music discovery apps, integrating music search into platforms, displaying artist/album info, managing user playlists, and accessing personalized recommendations. It supports public catalog access (no OAuth) and private user data (requires API key + OAuth).

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://developers.deezer.com/api')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
