GET /api/music Generate fake tracks with genre-coherent metadata

Live requestRuns against the public API
No key required
GET/api/music?count=10&seed=42

Request parameters

Only generate tracks of this genre — bpm, durationSeconds and the explicit flag all follow it. Omit for a mix of all 10.

Advanced response options7 options

How many records to generate (1–100).

Deterministic output: the same seed always returns the same records. Omit for random (the used seed is echoed in meta.seed).

Return only these fields (comma-separated). Mutually exclusive with 'exclude'.

Return all fields except these (comma-separated).

Response format: json envelope, ndjson (one record per line) or csv.

Pretty-print the JSON response.

Drop the envelope: return the raw array/object without data/meta wrapper.

Response schema Fields returned in each record 8
track string

genre string

The track's genre — always equals ?genre when that filter is set.

example: pop

About this API

Coverage, behavior and common use cases

Coverage & behavior

Generates fake tracks whose musical metadata actually fits the genre — built for music-player UIs, playlist mockups and audio-app demos where plain random numbers look obviously wrong.

Pick one of 10 genres with ?genre= and every record follows that genre's conventions:

  • bpm stays inside the genre's real-world tempo band: ambient 60–90, classical 60–120, hiphop 80–110, rnb 85–115, jazz 90–160, country 90–130, pop 95–130, rock 100–160, electronic 118–140, metal 140–200.
  • durationSeconds matches how long tracks of that genre actually run: pop 150–260 (radio-friendly), classical 120–900 (movement-length), ambient 240–720 (long-form), all others 120–420.
  • explicit is always false for classical, ambient and jazz; hip-hop and metal flag it most often.
  • artist names follow genre-typical stage-name patterns — bands (The Velvet Satellites) dominate rock and metal, DJ … names cluster in electronic and hip-hop, and classical artists are personal names. Classical tracks also get movement-style titles like Nocturne No. 3 in E minor.

Omit genre for a mixed playlist — each record still obeys its own genre's tempo, duration and explicit rules. Everything is fake (titles, artists and albums are assembled from curated word pools), and with a seed the same query returns byte-identical tracks forever.

Use it for

  • Fill a music-player UI or playlist mockup with believable tracks
  • Demo BPM-based features (workout apps, DJ tools) with genre-realistic tempos
  • Seeded fixtures for audio-app tests — the same playlist in every CI run

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers about this endpoint 3
Does the BPM match the genre?

Yes — tempo ranges are genre-coherent, so a drum-and-bass track won't come back at 70 BPM. Playlist demos stay believable.

Are these real songs?

No — track, artist and album names are generated; resemblance to real music is coincidental.

Can I build a playlist fixture in one call?

Yes — count up to 100 with genre set gives a coherent playlist, and seed keeps it stable across test runs.
