Apple Music Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Apple Music?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible Apple Music 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 Apple Music'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 Apple Music without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape Apple Music 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 Apple Music Scraper API gets through anti-bot defenses that block datacenter IPs, and you never expose your own address.

What data does the Apple Music Scraper API return?

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

How much does the Apple Music Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The Apple Music 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 Apple Music account or login?

expand_more
No Apple Music account or login is required. The Apple Music Scraper API reads publicly accessible release pages, so you only need a Chocodata API key, not Apple Music credentials. Pages that sit behind a Apple Music login are out of scope.
