The Echo Nest Recommend API powers great recommendations by understanding every song, review and news article on your music site. Personalize your site to each user's unique music taste. Drive page views and increase time-on-site by helping users discover great new music.

  • Artist-To-Artist Recommendations

  • Bulk or Playlist Recommendation

    Given a playlist or user favorites artists, get a nuanced list of recommended artists.

  • Similar Listener Recommendation

    Given a listeners listening history or favorite artists, get a nuanced list of other people with similar musical tastes.


Give better recommendations based on the actual music and not musically meaningless user clicks.

There are a handful of music recommendation platforms out there. Ours is different. Our recommendations are powered by a large-scale platform that actually reads about music and listens to music everywhere on the web.

  • Help your users find new music with recommendations that go beyond the expected.

    The Echo Nest recommendations are informed by more data sources than any other platform: online cultural data, text analysis, audio analysis and user activity. More context means better recommendations.

  • Get accurate coverage for your entire catalog of artists, from the popular to the obscure.

    The Echo Nest recommendations don't suffer from the cold start or popularity effect problems endemic to collaborative filtering. We understand a new release as soon as it comes online and can grow alongside your catalog.
