Steps
Mint an Apple Music developer token (JWT) for catalog-only access — no Music User Token is required for charts
Call the charts endpoint under a specific storefront path, specifying `types` (e.g. songs, albums, playlists) to control which chart categories are returned
To get curated chart playlists rather than raw song/album rankings, request `types=playlists` and use the `with` query parameter to select either `dailyGlobalTopCharts`, `cityCharts`, or both
Pass a `chart` parameter where applicable to select a named chart (e.g. most-played, city-top) and use `genre` to scope results to a specific genre id
Paginate large chart responses using the standard `limit`/`offset` query parameters
Resolve the correct storefront code (a two-letter country/region identifier) for the user or market you are targeting before issuing the request, since charts are always storefront-scoped
Known gotchas
Storefront is part of the URL path, not just a query parameter — requesting the wrong storefront silently returns a different region's chart, not an error
cityCharts availability varies by storefront and is not guaranteed for every country Apple Music charts otherwise supports
Chart content changes frequently (daily), so cache TTLs should be short and results should not be treated as stable identifiers over time
