FAQ<br>Frequently asked questions<br>What data does the SonoVault API provide?▾SonoVault provides structured metadata for over 80 million tracks. Catalog data is aggregated from open sources (Discogs, MusicBrainz) and enriched with cross-platform track IDs from Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and Beatport. For every track you get title, artist credits, label, release date, ISRC, duration, and genre/subgenre tags, plus matching IDs on every supported platform. All data is accessible via a single REST API with JSON responses and API key authentication.

Is there really a free tier?▾Yes — 1,000 requests per month for search, ISRC lookup, and platform links. Browse and new releases require a paid plan. No credit card required.

What counts as one request?▾One request = one API call that returns a response. A search endpoint returning 100 tracks still counts as one request, not 100.

How do you ensure data quality?▾Every track is deduplicated across sources using ISRC codes and fuzzy matching, so you get one canonical record per track instead of duplicates from different platforms. All metadata is normalized — artist names, titles, and labels go through accent folding, case normalization, and full-text indexing for consistent, reliable search results regardless of how a query is formatted.

Do I need a credit card to get started?▾No credit card is required. The free tier gives you 1,000 API requests per month — enough to build a prototype, test integrations, or evaluate the data quality before committing to a paid plan. Sign up at sonovault.now, click the verification link we email you (required before any /v1 request will succeed), then grab your API key from the dashboard and start calling the track search, ISRC lookup, and platform links endpoints. See /pricing for full plan details.
