AudD
GoodBotVerifiedBOTOn-demand music recognition API operated by AudD Operated by AudD.
What is AudD?
AudD operates a sophisticated music recognition platform that utilizes proprietary neural-network-based audio fingerprinting to identify tracks from a database of over 160 million songs. The service is widely used by major record labels and developers to power music-discovery features, such as the popular u/auddbot on Reddit, which automatically identifies music in linked media. By providing both standard recognition endpoints and enterprise-grade stream monitoring, AudD enables real-time identification for radio, live broadcasts, and user-generated content.
Identification
Why it crawls your site
The AudD bot crawls or fetches media content specifically when triggered by a user request or an automated integration (such as a Reddit comment or a browser extension) to perform audio analysis. It accesses the provided URL to retrieve the audio stream or file, processes the data against its fingerprinting database, and returns metadata like the artist, title, and streaming links. The operator can be verified through their official documentation at docs.audd.io and their public API dashboard.
