Identify Song

Identify what song is playing in a video, a link, or an audio file — the "what song is this?" question. Use when the user shares a YouTube/TikTok/Instagram/SoundCloud/Bilibili/X link and asks what the music is, points at an audio or video file on disk and asks to name the track, or asks you to find a song they can only describe by where they heard it. Also covers looking up a known song's ISRC, album, label, release date and Spotify/Apple Music links.

# Identify a song

Names the track playing in a link or an audio file, using [Song Finder](https://songfinder.dev) — a free online **song finder** that identifies music from a file, a recording or a link. No API key, no account.

## Which path to take

| The user gives you | Use |
|---|---|
| A page or media URL | [URL recognition](#url-recognition) — the server extracts the audio itself |
| A local audio/video file | [File recognition](#file-recognition) — upload a short excerpt |
| A title they already know | Skip recognition; go straight to [catalogue lookup](#catalogue-lookup) |

## URL recognition

Works with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, SoundCloud, Bilibili and X, plus any direct audio/video URL.

```bash
curl -s --max-time 120 -X POST https://songfinder.dev/api/music/recognize \
  -H "X-SongFinder-Client: cli" \
  -F "url=<PAGE_URL>" \
  -F "source=cli"
```

Add `-F "start=95"` to sample from 95 seconds in. Reach for this when the first attempt returns no match — the default sample often lands on an intro, a talking segment or a silent gap.

## File recognition

```bash
curl -s --max-time 120 -X POST https://songfinder.dev/api/music/recognize \
  -H "X-SongFinder-Client: cli" \
  -F "file=@/path/to/audio.mp3" \
  -F "source=cli"
```

Accepts `mp3`, `m4a`, `wav`, `flac`, `ogg`, `opus`, `aac`, `webm`. **Hard limit 10MB.**
