JioSaavn API

Free to Use Varies (check documentation)

Overview

JioSaavn is an unofficial API wrapper for the popular Indian music streaming service JioSaavn. It provides song search, album details, and playlist data without any authentication. Like all unofficial wrappers, it may break without notice when JioSaavn changes their internal APIs.

💡

Beginner Tip

Use the /api/search/songs endpoint for quick song searches—no account needed. Build in error handling and a fallback message since unofficial APIs can go offline unexpectedly.

Available Data

track name and artist
album metadata
audio preview URLs
popularity score
genre classification

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

502 Bad Gateway or timeout The unofficial server is overloaded or temporarily down.
Retry after a few minutes. Consider hosting the wrapper yourself using the GitHub source.
Unexpected response structure JioSaavn updated their internal API and the wrapper has not been patched yet.
Check the GitHub repo for open issues or recent commits that address the change.

Proxy the request through your own backend server to avoid browser CORS restrictions.
