Gaana
GaanaAPI is an unofficial, community-built Flask wrapper that scrapes song metadata — title, artist, album, duration, release date, cover art, and a playable m3u8 stream link, with optional lyrics — from a given Gaana song URL. It isn't a hosted service: there's no official public endpoint, so using it means self-deploying the Python app on your own VPS or Heroku instance, and the author himself warns that non-Indian server locations may fail to fetch some songs. The underlying code hasn't been updated since 2020 and an open GitHub issue reports Gaana's own CDN denying stream access, so treat it as a fragile, unofficial dependency rather than a stable API. A live check in 2026-08 found that fetching a Gaana song page from a non-Indian host returns a JS-rendered page without the song JSON the wrapper's regex looks for, so the app gets no results outside India.
