Usage​

1. Create an API Key​

Creating an API key is free and grants you higher rate limits and user authentication features.

Visit api.audius.co/plans or audius.co/settings to register an API key.

2. Send Requests​

Send requests using either your API Secret or Bearer Token.

curl -X GET "https://api.audius.co/v1/tracks/trending" -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR-API-BEARER-TOKEN>"
note

Your API Secret is like a wallet password. It is unchangeable and should be stored securely. Using a bearer token is preferable as it can be rotated.
