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 letting Chocodata route every request through country-matched residential proxies with automatic rotation and retries. Because the traffic looks like real users from real networks, the Allmusic Scraper API gets through anti-bot defenses that block datacenter IPs, and you never expose your own address.

What data does the Allmusic Scraper API return?

expand_more
The Allmusic Scraper API returns Allmusic album data as structured JSON: the core fields parsed from the page, ready to store or query. Exact fields depend on the album type, and only successful (2xx) responses are billed.

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 account or login is required. The Allmusic Scraper API reads publicly accessible album pages, so you only need a Chocodata API key, not Allmusic credentials. Pages that sit behind a Allmusic login are out of scope.
