API

The 7digital API allows organisations to license elements of the 7digital media platform to create their own digital media services.   Integrate the free 7digital Public API to create an entry-level download store or use our paid-for-services to access additional API methods to create more sophisticated commercial music services.

7digital has negotiated international agreements with all the leading record labels, including Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, EMI and Sony Music, to be able to provide you access to an extensive and versatile catalogue of music tracks, covering not only the latest releases and hits, but also across an extensive range of musical genres.

Using the 7digital developer platform you can:
  • Build digital music applications for the web, desktop and mobile devices
  • Generate revenue with your own branded music download store
  • Access our catalogue of over 8,000,000* MP3 music tracks
  • Include official sleeve artwork and audio samples
The Public API is FREE to use and provides an extremely rich set of functions.  You can create a store that allows users to browse, search and view preview clips from the 7digital catalogue. Sales from your store will also be included in official charts (dependent on territory).  Purchases are managed by 7digital, so you do not need to worry about setting up merchant services and we give you the flexibility of being able to accept a wide range of payment methods, including Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Click and Buy and Pay.  For more information visit our developer site.

Our Business API** has been designed specifically for commercial partners wishing to create their own branded music services, this may be a branded store selling the full 7digital repertoire or an customer acquisition/retention programme offering free or discounted music.  The 7digital Business API has been used by many leading organisations to create fully integrated services, including Spotify, Nestle (KitKat), Toshiba, DevelopIQ (BlackBerry Application) and many more.  As a Business API user you will have access a variety of methods that will allow you to fully integrate the service with your brand and so provide a seemless customer experience, including branded check out, client-side payment, single-click purchasing, single sign-on, access to customer's locker (for file reload purposes) and a range of other functions that allows you to create branded services specifically for your customers.
