Napster API

API

Access Napster's vast music catalog, metadata, and streaming previews

Overview

The Napster API v2.2 is a RESTful interface offering endpoints for music content (tracks, albums, artists, playlists) and curated charts. Responses are in JSON format, supporting operations like search, metadata retrieval, and streaming previews. Use cases include building music apps, integrating search into media platforms, creating playlist tools, or adding artist info to fan sites. OAuth 2.0 authentication enables access to user-specific data like playlists.
