shazam.py 1.0.0

Shazam API wrapper

shazam.py

Python library for the Shazam API. This library is based off of ShazamAPI and SongRec but some added features.

NOTE: that this is still in its design and development phase. It works and *could* be used in production but beware of possible breaking changes.

Install

pip3 install shazam.py

If you're on linux, you'll also have to install pkg-config and libasound2-dev with your preferred package manager.

Usage

Synchronous Shazam:

from shazam import Shazam

mp3_file = open('a.mp3', 'rb').read()

with Shazam(mp3_file) as shazam:
    print(shazam.result)  # data received from the shazam api

A partially-asynchronous method is also provided: (partially because only requests are done asynchronously and not the signature generation. See #1)

from shazam import AsyncShazam

mp3_file = open('a.mp3', 'rb').read()

async with AsyncShazam(mp3_file) as shazam:
    print(shazam.result)

There is also support for using your own session objects and using Shazam and AsyncShazam outside of a context manager using the execute function.

Notes on the Shazam API

Shazam's api takes a "signature" of a song to search in their database before returning a result.

If you want to know more about the specifics of the algorithm, you can read the paper written by a co-founder of Shazam.

The implementation of the algorithm was written by @marin-m in their project. It was adapted to work with python through pyo3 here.

Why is this better than all other libraries ever?

Because rust
