Welcome to Feed Clips
Feed Clips is a RESTful API for short-form popular music, designed to power user generated content in apps. You can browse our catalog, request clips, or create your own. Please also see our Implementation Guide for tips and best UX practices.
Clips are delivered via secure, time-limited, signed URLs. Every clip request returns a URL valid for 24 hours. In order to ensure legal compliance, usage events are required to report via the API to ensure artists and rights holders are properly compensated. This also the analytics available in Clips Studio.
All API requests must be made over HTTPS and include an Authorization header with your bearer token. A clientId parameter is also required in every request body to identify the end user across devices and sessions.
How it works
- Choose a Clip: browse through Collections to find a clip, or create your own from a track in the catalog.
- Request a Clip: your app requests the clip by ID.
- Receive a Signed URL: the API returns a secure, signed URL for the audio file (valid 24 hours).
- Stream or Sync with Content: either stream the clip or sync (i.e. mux) it with video content.
- Track Events: send event data back for key user interactions.
