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.
What’s new
You can now create more engaging experiences using only a few lines of code. The latest updates to ShazamKit APIs make it easier than ever for your app to recognize audio, even through headphones. And the new ShazamKit Library API lets you surface your users’ music discoveries directly in your app.
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.
