Free Music API

Welcome developers! The unsigned band web is one of the largest pure unsigned music sites on the internet. We provide several free music API's that allow you to access our database of bands & songs for your project. All of the data we provide is commercial free and we span all genres of music. Each of our API's along with documentation can be found below. If you have a requirement that is not listed below, please let us know and we will do our best to add it for you. Our artists appreciate the exposure that your project will bring!

   1) Please read our terms and conditions before proceeding with your project
   2) If you have questions, please use our contact form, or our technical help forum
   3) We do not allow automated saving of songs via our API, play and download links must be used
   4) Please notify us if your project is likely to have large bandwidth requirements
