API.SH vs the official JioSaavn API

JioSaavn does not offer an open developer API for its catalog. What ranks for 'jiosaavn api' today are unofficial GitHub wrappers, a Python package and a RapidAPI listing, and some of those projects have been archived. API.SH is a maintained alternative that returns public JioSaavn metadata as JSON with one key.

Instead of self-hosting an unofficial JioSaavn API from GitHub and fixing it when the site changes, call API.SH: one key, a fixed price per call and the same JSON shape as every other platform.

JioSaavn API questions

What JioSaavn data can I get?+

Search across songs, albums, artists and playlists (/jiosaavn/v1/search), single songs (/jiosaavn/v1/song), albums (/jiosaavn/v1/album), artist profiles (/jiosaavn/v1/artist), playlists (/jiosaavn/v1/playlist), editorial charts (/jiosaavn/v1/charts), new releases (/jiosaavn/v1/new-releases) and trending items by language (/jiosaavn/v1/trending).

How much does the JioSaavn API cost?+

Every JioSaavn endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free JioSaavn API?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /jiosaavn/v1/album at 1 credit each.

Is there an official JioSaavn API?+

Not an open one. JioSaavn has no public developer program for catalog data, which is why searchers find unofficial GitHub projects instead. API.SH gives you a supported, paid alternative for public metadata.

Do I need a JioSaavn account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public JioSaavn pages only. No endpoint uses a login, cookies or anyone's account.

Does it return song download links or lyrics?+

No. The API returns metadata only: titles, artists, albums, labels, languages, play counts and similar fields, plus whether a 320 kbps version exists. It does not return audio files, stream links or lyrics.

Can I use the JioSaavn API from Python?+

Yes. Call any endpoint over HTTPS with your key, or use the API.SH Python or JS SDK. Results come back as JSON, with CSV and NDJSON also available.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /jiosaavn/v1/search with q set to a song or artist name. Every parameter is in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.
