Steps

  1. Register a client on developer.jamendo.com to get a client_id for API access
  2. Call the tracks search method (v3.0) with your client_id and search parameters (search, tags, fuzzytags, acousticelectric, vocalinstrumental, etc.) to find candidate tracks
  3. Add `include=licenses` (alongside other `include` values like musicinfo, stats, lyrics as needed) to get each track's Creative Commons / Jamendo Pro licensing details in the same response
  4. Check whether your intended use is non-commercial or commercial: the free API is usable for non-commercial applications, while commercial use requires contacting Jamendo for a separate licensing quote
  5. For actual royalty-free licensing/clearance for commercial sync use (not just discovery), use Jamendo Licensing's separate catalog/licensing product rather than assuming API search access alone grants usage rights
  6. Read each track's specific Creative Commons license variant (e.g. attribution requirements, share-alike, non-commercial-only) before reusing it, since not all CC tracks in the catalog carry the same terms
