Is it possible to get timestamp in any of the API endpoints present in applemusic API Here's the documentation -> https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applemusicapi/

Apple Music Kit API will throw an Unauthorized 403 error when I log in successfully using an Apple Music account that has no Apple Music Subscription. After I successfully log in with my credentials, I will see a "Play full songs on the web" screen that indicates a successful log in. When I click "try it now" or "not now," the API will throw a "AUTHORIZATION_ERROR: Unauthorized." Authorization status will be set to 0, preview only will be set to false. Shouldn't the authorization be a success after the user has logged in? Ideally, the status should be a 1and preview true. I think what is missing is the consent screen which shows up only when the user is a subscribed member.

Hello everyone! I am using the web version of the Apple Music Kit API, and similar to how Apple is able to produce a user's year in rewind playlist showing the most played artists/songs from a year, I am trying to replicate it for either a year or all time. I have been searching the internet for days trying to figure it out, but I've been completely stuck. I am able to make the following HTTP request successfully. GET https://api.music.apple.com/v1/me/library/songs/ which returns back the user's library of songs, but I haven't figured out how to get the play count. I have tried adding a query like such ?extend=playCount, but that doesn't work. I can see here that the Swift Music Kit API is able to extend a play count property, but I haven't been able to figure it out for Web. Ideally, I am looking for an endpoint that just shows a user's top artist/tracks similar to Spotify, however, whenever I try to use the heavy in rotation endpoint here, it always returns an empty array. The way that I have described is the long-roundabout way where I'll have to fetch each individual song and sort by playCount. But if anyone happens to know how I can do either of the options I've described, it will be truly appreciated ! I've seen other forums posts from years ago, but hopefully there's been a discovered way. Thank you!

I want to use Apple Music using MusicKit. I've created MusicKit identifier and private key by following all the steps mentioned here: https://help.apple.com/developer-account/#/devce5522674 I have my Team ID, the Music key ID and the private key (.p8 file) with me. I tried to generate the required JWT token by using many scripts that were mentioned in similar questions asked here, but none of them have worked so far. When I try to authenticate, I'm getting an error ERROR_FAILED_TO_VERIFY_JWT. Ref: Codes I've tried to generate the JWT token from: Thread 130168 - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/130168 A nice and simple blog by Lee Martin [Blog - Creating an Apple Music API Token] Thread 79074 - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/79074 Many other links But sadly, none of them worked and I had to post this question. I have tried the sample Android app: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?=Android%20MusicKit After authentication, the page goes on with an infinite loader, which I believe must be because of the same error ERROR_FAILED_TO_VERIFY_JWT Also tried with this HTML page: <html> <head> <meta name="apple-music-developer-token" content="the-JWT-token-generated-using-the-reference-links"> <meta name="apple-music-app-name" content="My App Name"> <meta name="apple-music-app-build" content="1978.4.1"> </head> <body> <button id="apple-music-authorize"></button> <button id="apple-music-unauthorize"></button> </body> <script src="link-to-musickit.js"></script> <script> let music = MusicKit.getInstance(); &#9;&#9;music.player.play(); &#9;&#9;music.authorize().then(function() { &#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;music.player.play(); &#9;&#9;}); &#9;&#9;music.authorize().then(function() { &#9;&#9;&#9;&#9; music.api.library.albums.then(function(cloudAlbums) { &#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;// user's cloudAlbums &#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;}); &#9;&#9;}); </script> </html>

Cannot get various songs to play and cannot figure out what is causing it. It appears to be certain albums don't play. For instance Eric Church's Chief album plays fine, but his Soul album does not play.

Is there a way to get the user name after login if I use Apple Music Kit JS or using the APIs? Or can I use the music token from Apple Music kit JS with Apple Sign In to get a user name? Greetings

For some reason when I go through the same process as shown here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/musickitjs/ using MusicKit JS to authorize a user, the popup opens a user logs in and then on the access request screen you click allow nothing happens. You can see in the network tab when inspecting that the usertoken is being generated but the popup isn't closing and no matter what I try I cannot extract the usertoken, any thoughts?

If a user has only added one song from an album in its library, the library album endpoint (/me/library/albums) will return this album. It does not make sense because the user did not add the full album to its library, only one song. Note that the Apple Music app is doing the same in its Library > Albums section. How to retrieve only those albums which have been added ?

Hello Everyone, We've had an idea for a hardware controller for Logic X, and have already made prototypes that work with Garage Band and other applications. My question is - Does Apple have a development license available for Logic X? Thanks.

[Ticket on Feedback Assistant FB12353357] Hi there, We’re experiencing issues playing explicit songs using MusicKitJS for the Web (tested on both stable v1 and beta v3). Upon calling the SDK’s “play()” function, the following error gets logged in the console “CONTENT_RESTRICTED: Content restricted” and playback doesn’t begin. The Storefront we’ve tested in is “it”, but very likely all of them are impacted with the issue, here’s a few Adam IDs of affected tracks: 1681182396, 1683117248, 1669607876. A quick check with the REST APIs reveals indeed that the relevant thing all 3 of them have in common is "contentRating" being "explicit”. The bug isn’t however easy or predictable to replicate because it seems that it can be somewhat solved by fiddling with both the “Screen Time” restrictions settings within an iOS/iPadOS device (of course logged in with the same Apple account), as well as with the “Parental Controls” dashboard located in the Web version of the Apple Music’s settings page. We’re still not 100% sure what exactly “triggers” the fix, but both mentioned dashboards above are essential in attempting to solve it by trial and error. Specifically: in the “Parental Controls” dashboard what helps is actually turning ON the restrictions with the toggle, and then easing them up the most by specifically setting the less restricted available option in all 3 dropdown menus (pretty baffling); in the “Screen time” dashboard what helps is simply enabling/disabling the feature itself altogether, as well as the “Content & Privacy restrictions” toggle, and changing the level of allowed content between “Clean” and “Explicit”; I also want to highlight the fact that during the entire process, for the issue to be actually solved, users every time had to to restart their iPhone/iPad multiple times after changing a setting in “Screen time”, along with deauthorizing/authorizing (logging out and back in) their Apple Music account from the MusicKitJS SDK. The issue seems to always affect freshly created Apple accounts right from the start, we’re not aware of methods that can lead to the bug “coming back” and starting to happen again after being solved manually with the process above (meddling “randomly” with dashboards). It’s a pretty serious one because many of our users do not posses an Apple device and only use their Apple Music subscription on the Web and/or their Android device, meaning that the “Screen time” dashboard isn’t available for them. We’ve never been able to solve the problem on an Apple ID account solely by fiddling with the “Parental Controls” dashboard located in the Web version of the Apple Music’s settings page: tinkering with the “Screen time” settings was essential every single time, meaning owning an Apple device is essential to solve it. Last thing I’m adding is that the issue doesn’t seem to also affect listening to these explicit songs directly with the various first-party Apple Music clients (tested on the iOS native app, Android native app, and on the Apple Music WebApp). Steps to reproduce: on the Web, create a new Apple ID account and activate an Apple Music subscription (do not login with said account on an Apple device); go to the Apple Music WebApp settings page at music.apple.com/account/settings and make sure that the “Parental Controls” restrictions are turned OFF; open any explicit song in the Apple Music WebApp and confirm that playback is allowed; login and authorize the newly created account using any website/application integrated with the MusicKitJS SDK (v1 or v3, doesn’t matter); open the same explicit song as before (or any other) in said third-party client that uses the SDK and verify that playback doesn’t begin and an error “CONTENT_RESTRICTED: Content restricted” is logged in the console upon playing. Additional infos: Apple ID account region and language: Italy - Italian; Storefront affected: IT but possibly all of them; MusicKitJS versions affected: both v1 and v3; Browser where the issue was reproduced: Chrome v114. Attached you’ll find some informational screenshots. Thanks!

Hi, We are a funded startup developing a music festival and concert application that integrates with Apple Music. Two big features the API is missing are PUT and DELETE endpoints for tracks on a playlist. Both of these would drastically enhance the user experience on third-party apps that leverage Apple Music, specifically for editing and curating playlists. We have also noticed many errors returned as 403 when we have literally just signed in with a brand new token. We have confirmed on our end that the token is valid, fresh and can be used through other clients. As well, Apple's MusicKitJS SDK could use a bit of work. We were able to unminify and work around these issues; most of them were addressed with a simple try/catch and retry routine. We love the Apple Music API and SDK, and in general found it super easy to integrate with, setup and use. We also firmly believe Apple puts out superior products to other technology firms in the same industry. It was disappointing to see the API and SDK for Apple Music falling behind compared to other music providers who offer similar API's. We really hope Apple improves and enhances these offerings in the future. Also just wanted to give a shotout and thanks to all of the devs who make these services accessible and the integration possible. We wouldn't be here without you, and didn't want this post to come off as a rant just more of a friendly "nudge."

There are a couple of tracks that recently are throwing an net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND error in console. All other songs are playing music just fine. One ID in question: 1685732269

Hello everyone, I'm currently working on some projects in React that involve using MusicKit on the web. However, I've been having some trouble finding a package that works with React. I've noticed that there's a beta version of MusicKit for web available, but I'm not sure if Apple has released an npm package for it yet. If there isn't an npm package available, is it still possible to use MusicKit on the web using just HTML and JavaScript? I'd appreciate any guidance or advice on how to get started with this. Thank you in advance for your help! Best regards.

Hi, I'm developing a web app that integrates various widgets into a single page to boost users productivity. I would like to link to integrate Apple Music too using the MusicKit JS SDK. I'll monetize the web app through monthly subscriptions. There they get access to all the widgets. So my question is whether it is allowed? If not, is there any other way I can still give my users ability to play Apple Music from the web app? Thanks

How can I remove my songs on Apple Music for artist as admin. Is it possible to delete/remove uploaded song on Apple Music for artist.

In many request you can include "extend" parameters. But there is nowhere list of extended attributes that I can apply to the request. I tried using various option but results are the same as without them.

Hey. now I'm using apple music api to collect music informations. but I've noticed that I couldn't get the featured artists information from a song. guess there's a song Foo - Bar (Feat. Baz). In spotify API, we can retrieve featured artist information something like this: { // ... "artists": [ "Foo", // <-- primary artist "Baz" // <-- featured artist ] // ... } but as I see in documentation, there is no API (or relationship with a song) for get all the artists (including featured artists) of a song. GET https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/kr/songs/1544411971 { "data": [ { // ... "attributes": { // ... "name": "36.5 (feat. Hwaji)", // ... }, "relationships": { // ... "artists": { "href": "/v1/catalog/kr/songs/1544411971/artists", "data": [ { "id": "1297171788", "type": "artists", "href": "/v1/catalog/kr/artists/1297171788" } ] } } } ] } as you can see here, there's only one artist relationship object in artists.data array even if the target song have featuring artist. Is there any way to get featured artists information of a song?

Hello! I am currently working on a react.js application that is integrating with the MusicKit v3 library. I have followed the documentation to generate a JWT for MusicKit and add the library to my application. Using my token I am able to successfully retrieve song information from the Apple Music API, but I am having trouble with authentication. When I call music.authorize() and successfully go through the Apple sign in popup, I am receiving the following 403 error: https://play.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZPlay.woa/wa/webPlayerLogout 403 musickit.js:44 Uncaught (in promise) AUTHORIZATION_ERROR: Unauthorized After stepping through the music kit API and login popup with breakpoints, I am seeing that the music user token is null, despite the login popup succeeding and returning a proper token/response: {"isAppleMusicSubscriber":"true","musicUserToken":"Ak4ItOgRRRG2y6xgA/OeWQPK0RqPQ/esAJkRN0B/Ua/AWLT52tLhd2TfzMK6uhH+Nczvd7wjYDM1UewG/NledKtimwlrR+s5tdQPk/FG28zqhBqXZ12q6LC516w8ELZDwv5T61kV8xiJ1KSO1q4pGi01JO7SuPMtOqB/QsycYj+xNnrYUEwlP5tm/zxfg7bWmvuWMwfUruYR+A1U9FdXZsdIITVmxCjiHg8ro9xXRzl6Txhsag\u003d\u003d","cid":"REDACTED","itre":"REDACTED","supported":"REDACTED"} I have tested my application with multiple Apple Music users who have paid subscriptions. All accounts are receiving this same error. I have tried regenerating my JWT token multiple times following various guides. My latest attempt used the following node library and parameters: var jwt = require('jsonwebtoken'); var fs = require('fs'); var privateKey = fs.readFileSync('./AuthKey_MYKEY.p8'); let now = new Date(); let nextMonth = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth() + 1, now.getDate()); let nowEpoch = Math.round(now.getTime() / 1000); // number of seconds since Epoch, in UTC let nextMonthEpoch = Math.round(nextMonth.getTime() / 1000); // number of seconds since Epoch, in UTC var payload = {     iss: 'REDACTED', // TEAM ID     iat: nowEpoch,     exp: nextMonthEpoch }; var options = {     algorithm: 'ES256',     header: {         alg: 'ES256',         kid: 'REDACTED' // KEY ID     } }; jwt.sign(payload, privateKey, options, function(error, token) {     console.log(error);     console.log(token); }); I have a valid App Identifier created with the MusicKit App Service enabled. I am stuck! I have no other ideas on the possible root cause here. Is there something I am missing? I have a mobile app currently in Test Flight - does this app need to be released to the app store? I am out of guesses! Any support here would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time. Patrick

Hello! I'm trying out MusicKit JS and am able to log in and retrieve songs from my library, but I want to be able to store some information tied to myself as a user between sessions. I can't seem to find any unique identifier for a user besides maybe the musicUserToken?, which I assume will change at some point. I also can't seem to find any direction on how to get any user information like name/apple id/etc. without also getting an auth token from apple id and then sending the id token back for information. I was just thinking, since they already log in to apple to authorize MusicKit JS, there must be some way to get some unique identifier to tie the logged in user to itself across sessions. Am I missing something or do i need to make another call to get an auth token? Thanks

We're using  https://developer.apple.com/documentation/musickitjs to authorize Apple music, on Desktop it opens a new window to authorize to apple. But It's NOT working on mobile In-App Browser (both iOS &amp; Android), probably because on mobile messenger, it's not possible to allow the opening of multiple windows. Are we missing something here? Any workaround for it? Has anyone done that?
