Apple Music Feed
Bulk exports of Apple Music catalog metadata for albums, songs, artists and charts, refreshed daily.
Overview
Apple Music Feed provides Apple Music catalog metadata in bulk, as feed exports for offline use. It complements Apple Music API, which is best for online use. The feed covers albums, songs, artists and popularity charts, is fully refreshed every 24 hours, and is delivered as Parquet files.
You request the latest export for a data set through the Apple Media Feed API, ask for links to its parts, and then download the data. Requests are authorized with an ES256-signed developer token created from a Media ID and private key in your developer account. Apple restricts use of the feed to publicly promoting Apple Music content within your app.
