musiciwant 1.1.0

Independent music analysis API client — BPM, dynamic range, sensory intensity, moods, misophonia flags. A Spotify Audio Features alternative.

musiciwant (Python)

Tiny, dependency-free client for the Music I Want API — independent sensory + musical analysis for ~19,000 songs. BPM, dynamic range, sudden changes, texture, vocal style, a 0–100 intensity score, moods, use-case fits, and misophonia flags no other public API carries.

An honest alternative to the data that disappeared when Spotify deprecated its Audio Features API.

Install

pip install musiciwant

Quickstart

from musiciwant import MusicIWant

miw = MusicIWant()  # works key-less at 100 req/day/IP

song = miw.song(title="Black", artist="Pearl Jam")["song"]
print(song["bpm"], song["dynamic_range"], song["intensity"], song["sensory_level"])
# 75 7 47 moderate

results = miw.search("radiohead")["results"]

A free key (2,000 requests/day)

from musiciwant import MusicIWant, get_key

key = get_key("[e-mail]")["key"]
miw = MusicIWant(api_key=key)
miw.usage()  # {'tier': 'free', 'remaining_today': 1999, ...}
