About Allmusic

AllMusic is a reference database of recorded music with editorial pages for artists, albums, songs, and genres. Public artist and album pages expose discographies, credits, genre and style tags, release dates, and editorial reviews that are useful to scrape.

Scraping note: URLs append a stable internal ID (e.g. mn0000754032) to the slug, so you typically resolve the canonical ID before fetching a target page.

Example Allmusic page

https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-beatles-mn0000754032

Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.

Fields you can extract from Allmusic

check_small artist or album name check_small release date check_small genre and style tags check_small track listing check_small credits check_small editorial review text

Common use: A music-catalog app scrapes AllMusic album pages to enrich its records with genre, style, and credit metadata.

Allmusic Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Allmusic?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible Allmusic data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override Allmusic's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape Allmusic without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape Allmusic without getting blocked by sending the URL to the Universal Web Scraper API, which fetches it through rotating residential proxies and retries on soft blocks. Your own IP is never used, so Allmusic's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the Allmusic Scraper API return?

expand_more
Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the Allmusic page back as JSON: rendered HTML, plain text, or auto-parsed content depending on the parse mode you pass. You choose the URL, Chocodata returns the data.

How much does the Allmusic Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The Allmusic Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a Allmusic account or login?

expand_more
No Allmusic login is needed for public pages. You point the Universal Web Scraper API at a publicly accessible Allmusic URL with your Chocodata API key; you do not hand over any Allmusic credentials. Login-gated content is not supported.
