Openwhyd

Verified Jul 2026

Openwhyd is a free, open-source music-curation service that lets users build playlists of tracks from YouTube, SoundCloud, and other streaming platforms. Its Data Export API offers keyless, public read access to profiles, posts, playlists, and "hot tracks" as JSON or plain URL lists, while a separate User API requires session-based email/password login for actions like posting tracks or managing playlists on a user's own account.
