Apple Music API

Apple Music now available in 3rd Party Apps

Apple Music API launched on April 28, 2016 with 460 votes, #20 of 4,301 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches.

In plain words

Apple Music API enables developers to integrate Apple Music functionality into third-party applications. It allows app builders to access Apple Music's catalog and features programmatically, expanding where users can discover and listen to music beyond Apple's native apps. The API is designed for developers building music-related software who want to incorporate Apple Music capabilities into their platforms.

    Some time ago I moved from Spotify to Apple Music for a few reasons. As someone who builds iOS and macOS apps, I quickly noticed how rough the Apple Music experience felt on Mac. It just wasn’t fun to use. So I decided to challenge myself and see if it was possible to build a full, complex, and performant Apple Music client using SwiftUI. At first, it went surprisingly well. SwiftUI made it easy to build out the main structure and experiment quickly. The UI came together nicely, and it was exciting to see how modern and flexible the framework could be. But the deeper I went, the more cracks…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
