Songlink / Odesli Music Link Resolver

Resolve any music link to every streaming platform in one run. Feed Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Deezer, or Tidal URLs and get back matching links on all other services, with country-specific availability. No API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Songlink / Odesli is the standard way to turn one music link into links for every platform, but the website only resolves one track at a time. This Actor reads the public Songlink / Odesli resolver in bulk, so you can process a list of track or album URLs and collect every cross-platform match in a single dataset. Each row is one resolved link, with the source platform, destination platform, and the destination URL.

Who uses it What they scrape Songlink / Odesli for
Music marketers Build smart links for every release without manual copy-paste
Playlist curators Convert a playlist from one service into links for all other services
Data analysts Map catalog IDs across streaming platforms for reporting
App developers Populate a database of equivalent track URLs for deep linking
Podcast producers Generate one-tap subscribe links for every podcast app

What it does

This Actor collects cross-platform music links from Songlink / Odesli for each track or album URL you provide, and returns each resolved link as a flat row.

  • πŸ”— Bulk resolution: paste up to a million track or album URLs and get every matching link in one run.
  • 🌍 Country-aware: pick a user country to get region-specific links and availability.
  • 🎡 Single handling: choose whether single releases resolve as songs or albums.
  • πŸ“¦ Flat output: each resolved link is one row, ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML export.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your input URLs are valid and publicly accessible. Some regional tracks may not resolve if the user country is set to a market where they are unavailable. Try changing the country or testing one URL on the Songlink / Odesli website.

Why are some platforms missing from the output?

Songlink / Odesli only returns links for platforms where the track or album is available. If a platform is missing, the content may not be on that service, or it may be region-locked based on your user country setting.

Why did the run stop before processing all my URLs?

The 'Maximum links' setting limits the total number of resolved links, not input URLs. If you set it to 10 and each URL resolves to 5 links, the Actor stops after 2 URLs. Increase the maximum or remove the limit.

Why do I get different links for the same track when I change the country?

Streaming platforms often have different catalog IDs or availability by region. The country setting tells the resolver which market to use, so links can vary. This is expected behavior.

Can I get the song title and artist in the output?

The Actor returns the resolved links and platform information. If you need metadata like title and artist, you can pair this Actor with a music metadata scraper or use the original platform's API.

FAQ

Question Answer
Which platforms does Songlink / Odesli support? It supports major music services including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, Pandora, and many more. The Actor returns whatever links the resolver finds for each input URL.
Do I need a Songlink / Odesli API key? No. This Actor uses the public resolver endpoint, so you can run it without any registration or key.
Can I resolve album URLs, not tracks? Yes. The Actor accepts both track and album URLs. Use the 'Treat singles as songs' option to control whether single releases are resolved as songs or albums.
How does the user country setting work? It sends a country code to the resolver, which affects regional availability and sometimes the exact link returned. For example, a track available on a local service in Japan will include that link when you set JP.
What does the output look like? Each row represents one resolved link. It includes the original URL, the platform it came from, the destination platform, and the destination URL. You can export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
How many URLs can I process in one run? You can set 'Maximum links' up to 1,000,000. The Actor processes them sequentially and stops when it reaches that number of resolved links or runs out of input URLs.
What if a URL cannot be resolved? The Actor skips URLs that return no matches and continues with the rest. You will see only successful resolutions in the dataset.
Can I use this for podcasts? Yes, Songlink / Odesli also resolves podcast links. Feed an Apple Podcasts or Spotify show URL and you will get links for other podcast apps.
Is there a rate limit? The Actor runs at a reasonable pace to avoid overloading the public resolver. For very large lists, consider splitting them into multiple runs.
Can I schedule this to run regularly? Yes, you can schedule the Actor on Apify to run daily or weekly, for example to keep your smart links up to date as platform availability changes.
