soundcharts 1.0.2

A Python package for interacting with the Soundcharts API.

Soundcharts Module

A Python package for interacting with the Soundcharts API.

API Documentation

Full documentation of the API is available here: Soundcharts API Documentation

You will need a Soundcharts API subscription to use this package.

Features

• Easily pull data from Soundcharts' API.
• Every endpoint from the documentation is available as a Python function.
  • For example, the "get audience" endpoint in the "playlist" category is accessible via playlist.get_audience().
• Synchronous and Asynchronous support.
• Automatically loops through endpoints to get around API limitations, such as the limit of 100 items per request.
• Configurable error handling.

Installation

pip install soundcharts

Usage

Synchronous Client

Best for standard scripts, Jupyter notebooks, or scheduled cron jobs.

from soundcharts import SoundchartsClient

sc = SoundchartsClient(app_id="your_app_id", api_key="your_api_key")

# Example with Billie Eilish's UUID
billie_metadata = sc.artist.get_artist_metadata("11e81bcc-9c1c-ce38-b96b-a0369fe50396")
print(billie_metadata)

Asynchronous Client

Recommended for high-performance applications, FastAPI, or when integrating with other asyncio libraries. This avoids blocking the event loop and allows for faster execution in concurrent environments.

import asyncio
from soundcharts import SoundchartsClientAsync

async def main():
    sc = SoundchartsClientAsync(app_id="your_app_id", api_key="your_api_key")

    # Use 'await' for all API calls
    billie_uuid = "11e81bcc-9c1c-ce38-b96b-a0369fe50396"
    billie_metadata = await sc.artist.get_artist_metadata(billie_uuid)
    print(billie_metadata)

asyncio.run(main())

Error handling

You can set the severity of the console logs, file logs, and exceptions:

from soundcharts.client import SoundchartsClient
import logging

sc = SoundchartsClient( app_id="your_app_id",
                        api_key="your_api_key",
                        console_log_level=logging.INFO,
                        file_log_level=logging.WARNING,
                        exception_log_level=logging.ERROR)

Setting the level of the console or file log to logging.DEBUG will log each request send to the API.

Parallel processing

You can specify the number of requests to run in parallel. It's especially useful when looping through a lot of calls, like in this case fetching 3 months of Billie Eilish's radio airplay (about 3,000 calls):

from soundcharts.client import SoundchartsClient
import logging

sc = SoundchartsClient( app_id="your_app_id",
                        api_key="your_api_key",
                        parallel_requests=10)

billie = "11e81bcc-9c1c-ce38-b96b-a0369fe50396"

response = sc.artist.get_radio_spins(
    billie, start_date="2025-01-01", end_date="2025-03-31", limit=None
)
