Music — entry 030 of 32
TasteDive
TasteDive's recommendation API takes a music artist (or movie, show, book, game, podcast, person, place, or brand) and returns similar items, with an optional verbose mode adding Wikipedia links, descriptions, and YouTube clips. A small number of experimental calls work without a key, but regular use needs a free access key passed as the k parameter. TasteDive has been affiliated with Qloo since 2019, which now positions itself as the current home for this taste-graph technology, though the legacy TasteDive endpoint documented here remains live.
