Is there a Shazam-Like API?

Question

I write programs using Apple's Siri Shortcuts, and I am looking for an API or any way that can be used to identify a song playing in the background.

Is there any software that can do this? If not, is there a way to write a Shortcut that IDs a song?

Thank you!

Check out Gracenote:

" Gracenote (which is owned by Sony) has opened up it's SDKs and APIs and has a proper dev portal. You can check out the app "Track ID" on Play Store which I am sure will give you better results than Shazam or Soundhound. Track ID uses the Gracenote services. Having access to the huge Sony Music collection, Gracenote does a much better job of ACR than Shazam (especially, me being Indian, I find Gracenote recognising a lot of Hindi, Bengali, Tamil songs, which Shazam or Soundhound only are able to recognise English ones)."

I tried it but it says that it's not working now so I can't add an app. – 2br-2b Nov 16 '18 at 18:42
I’m sorry to hear, I think that’s only one similar as far as I know. – Kristoffer Tølbøll Nov 16 '18 at 18:43

Pretty sure this is the link: https://www.quora.com/Is-there-an-API-for-Shazam-or-SoundHound/answer/Arnav-Gupta-3 edit: It's pretty old (>3 yrs), so it's a bit misleading to re-post here as an answer in 2019. – bodecker Feb 08 '19 at 06:44
@bodecker well not really. It’s still being maintained. – Kristoffer Tølbøll Feb 08 '19 at 08:27
