music-podcast-researchlisted

# Music & podcast research Look up tracks, albums, artists, playlists, and podcast shows/episodes across Spotify, Spotify Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Discogs, and SoundCloud as normalized JSON from the Crawlora API — no scraping streaming-app pages. ## When to use this skill - "Find this track/album/artist on Spotify" / "what's on this playlist?" - "Look up a Spotify user's public profile/playlists." - "What podcasts/episodes are trending?" (Spotify Podcasts, Apple Podcasts charts) - "Get details for this podcast show/episode." - "What pressings/releases exist for this record?" (Discogs — vinyl/collector data) - "Look up this SoundCloud track/user" / "how many plays/likes does this track have?" / "what has this artist uploaded to SoundCloud?" ## Setup (one-time) - Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at [https://crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=crawlora-skills). - Set `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` in the environment before running the helper. - The helper reads `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` from the environment and sends requests to `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`. Missing/invalid key → `401`. ## How it works 1. **Spotify** — search first: `/spotify/search` (or the scoped `/spotify/tracks/search`, `/spotify/artists/search`, `/spotify/albums/search`, `/spotify/playlists/search`, `/spotify/profiles/search`) with `q`. Detail endpoints (`/spotify/track`, `/spotify/album`, `/spotify/artist`, `/spotify/playlist`
