Tuned Global Advanced APIs (aAPIs) consist of a group of Metadata, Services and Authentication APIs.

These Metadata APIs are used where user context is not required, the Services APIs are where user context is required.  This means that the security models are different between Metadata and Services APIs.

The Metadata APIs provided READ access to public information about artists, albums, playlists, stations, videos, podcasts, tags and more.  This group of APIs provides the ability to search your catalogue.

General usage of the APIs would be as follows;

The suite of Advanced APIs provide a wide range of tools to get the output you are looking for in regards to your project.  Our team and systems are used in many different use cases, ranging from traditional streaming, metadata usage, background music services, airlines, gaming and web3 experiences to name a few.  Contact our team with you specific use case if you are unsure and we will provide details of the APIs that will provide the results you are looking for.

There are many of the metadata APIs that provide output that you have defined via the AutoTuned CMS.  Instructions on AutoTune CMS are not part of this API documentation but are available via credentials you have been provided.  If unsure, please check with Tuned Support team for more information.or.

A important note is in regards to Images.  Images are generally provided at the highest resolution available within the URL responses.  This is for Artist Images, Album Images and Artwork (such as playlist images).  You will not want to use this URL as it is usually too large, bit also not right sized for your interfaces.

Tuned Global makes an image engine available for both sizing the image required and also applying a number of effects.  This is detailed in

Catalogues are made available within these subject to licensing and territories.  The search API will search across all territories you have available and include an available territory node in the response.  You should only display the products available for the territory of the current user.

You can use Tuned Global’s automatic image resizing end-point in order to generate images in the size you wish.  The system will resize from the original image automatically.  In order to use and access these images, you will need to first get the Thumbor settings from the TUNED APIs or TUNED directly.  

The standard URL for Thumbor is provided below in the example, if you have custom URLs configured this may change.

In order to get an image., you can then add the Thumbor URL ahead of the image URL (available from the APIs) along with the parameters to resize the image.  

You must build your URL to request an image suitable for your application.  Below is a 

 model, for a quick start.  There is also an Advanced section if you want to customise and optimise the images being retrieved.


To simply ask for a resized image, simply specify the size of the image as follows; 

Image size is defines in pixels width x height

Note: This example is the same as Crop in Advanced below.  It is NOT a proportional resize but will crop the image as defined below.  If you wish to proportionally resize you should use Fit
