For Agents

Search the 7digital catalogue, look up artists, releases, and tracks, and retrieve release tracklists for music apps and streaming products.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the 7digital API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the 7digital API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use 7digital API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Music Search Inside a Consumer App

Music streaming and download apps power their search bar with the 7digital track, artist, and release search endpoints so users can find content from across the licensed catalogue in a single query. The API returns ranked results with cover art and preview URLs that apps can render directly. A first working search experience takes one to two days to ship.

Call /track/search with the user's query 'happier than ever', display the top ten results, and resolve the selected track via /release/details for full metadata.

Artist Pages and Discography Browsing

Fan apps and music magazines build artist pages by combining /artist/browse and /artist/releases to show biographies, discographies, and the latest releases. The endpoints return structured records with consistent IDs so an editorial team does not need to maintain a separate catalogue. Initial integration takes about two days.

Call /artist/browse for 'Radiohead', then /artist/releases sorted by release date to render a discography page.

Release Detail Pages with Tracklists

Album-detail pages in music apps use /release/details and /release/tracks to show metadata, label, release date, and the full tracklist with durations. This replaces hand-curated content and ensures the tracklist stays in sync with the licensed catalogue. End-to-end integration is around a day for a single album view.

Given a selected album, call /release/details and /release/tracks and render the page with cover art, tracklist, and duration totals.

AI Music Assistant via Jentic

An AI music assistant connected through Jentic can answer questions like 'find me Adele's latest album and its tracks' by chaining /artist/search, /artist/releases, and /release/tracks behind the scenes. Jentic stores the OAuth consumer credentials in the vault and exposes the operations by intent. End-to-end response time is a few seconds per query.

Search Jentic for 'find an album and tracklist', load /artist/search for 'Adele' to get the artist ID, then load /artist/releases and /release/tracks to return the latest album and its tracks.

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

7digital OAuth consumer credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem) and used to sign requests at execution time. Agents receive scoped access — the raw secret never appears in the prompt or output.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic with intents like 'search music by track title' or 'get an album tracklist' and Jentic returns the matching 7digital operation with its input schema, so the agent calls the right endpoint without reading the developer portal.

Time to first call

Direct integration with the 7digital API takes about two days for OAuth signing, search, and detail handling. Through Jentic the same call is reachable in under thirty minutes.

FAQs

Specific to using 7digital API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for 7digital API?

7digital publishes a developer portal at docs.7digital.com but does not distribute a machine-readable OpenAPI specification for direct ingestion. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so AI agents and developers can call 7digital through structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the 7digital API use?

The API uses OAuth signed requests with a consumer key and secret issued through the 7digital partner portal. When called through Jentic the OAuth credentials are stored encrypted in the vault and the request signature is generated at execution time, so the secret never enters the agent's prompt context.

Can I search the 7digital catalogue by track title with this API?

Yes. Call GET /track/search with the q parameter set to the track title. The response returns ranked matches with track ID, artist, release, duration, and preview URLs that your app can render.

What are the rate limits for the 7digital API?

Rate limits are set per partner contract rather than as a single public number. 7digital advises caching catalogue responses where possible and avoiding tight polling loops. Back off on HTTP 429 responses and respect the Retry-After header.

How do I get an album tracklist with the 7digital API through Jentic?

After running pip install jentic and setting JENTIC_AGENT_API_KEY, search Jentic for 'get album tracklist', load GET /release/tracks, and execute it with the release ID. Jentic injects the OAuth signing automatically.

Does the 7digital API stream audio directly?

No. The catalogue API returns metadata and short preview URLs only. Full track playback for download or streaming products is delivered through 7digital's separate playback APIs once a partner subscription is in place.
