Apple Music API Token Guide

This guide helps you extract a developer token dynamically from Apple Music's public site (https://beta.music.apple.com) and use it to access metadata for songs or albums via Apple’s internal amp-api.

Disclaimer

The unofficial method of scraping tokens from the Apple Music website is not sanctioned by Apple and is subject to break without notice if the website's structure is updated. For production applications, the official developer token method is strongly recommended due to its stability and reliability.

How It Works

The process can be broken down into two main steps:

  1. Find the Core JavaScript File: The initial step is to fetch the HTML of the Apple Music beta website (https://beta.music.apple.com). Within this HTML, we look for a reference to a specific JavaScript file, typically named in a pattern like index-legacy-[hash].js. This file contains the necessary logic and, more importantly, the token.

The script creates 'licenses' under '$ANDROID_HOME' and creates a file which proves
that the SDK license was accepted by the user.
Please copy this to your own account/gist/server. Every time there's an updated license, update the file with the new
license hash.
Legally if you run this script (or your own version of it), it means YOU accepted the license - don't trust someone else.
The hashes below are supposed to be taken from $ANDROID_HOME/licenses/android-sdk-license on YOUR machine, after you
