ShazamKit

Bring audio recognition to your apps with ShazamKit. Match music to the millions of songs in Shazam’s vast catalog or make any prerecorded audio recognizable by building your own custom catalog using audio from video, podcasts, and more.

Let users find songs in seconds

Develop features in your apps using music recognition and seamlessly connect users to Shazam’s catalog of music. ShazamKit lets you enrich your app experience by letting users find out a song’s name, who sang it, the genre, and more. Learn where in the song the match was found in order to synchronize content with user experiences.

Rely on ShazamKit’s Library API to maintain users’ music discoveries in your app, making sure they’re always available.

Sync content with audio

Make your collection of video or audio recognizable by generating a custom catalog of audio signatures. Create second-screen experiences or build features that sync and react as audio plays by assigning metadata at key points in time.
