Search music

The search endpoint allows your users to search the entire Epidemic Sound library. Search indexes track attributes such as moods, genres, artist, song title and bpm.

You can also pass a Spotify track link or URI as the term (e.g. https://open.spotify.com/track/{id} or spotify:track:{id}) to find similar Epidemic Sound tracks. The first time a given Spotify track is searched it may not have been analysed yet. In that case the endpoint responds 503 Service Unavailable with a Retry-After header (in seconds) indicating how long to wait before retrying. Repeat the same request after that delay until it succeeds. Analysis of a first-seen track can take from a few seconds up to a couple of minutes, so poll gently and honour Retry-After rather than retrying aggressively.
