Record audio and use the AudD music recognition API from the command line.

The audd scripts queries the AudD API. This repository also contains audd-notif which uses audd and libnotify to return the match result.

Dependencies:

The audd script requires:

• curl
• ffmpeg

In addition to the above the audd-notif script requires:

• jq

• dunstify (optional)

Installation

Manual

Just clone this repo and place the audd and audd-notif scripts on your $PATH.

Arch (AUR):

Using your favourite AUR helper:

$ paru -S audd-cli-git

Usage

$ audd -h
Usage: audd [OPTION]... [FILE]
Query the AudD music recognition API.

Get a free API token at: https://audd.io/

The API token can be read from file:
$ echo "api-token" > "~/.config/audd/api_token"

If no FILE is provided, a recording is made using the AUDIO_SOURCE.

Usage:
    -h                    Show this message and exit.
    -a API_KEY            AudD API token.
    -s AUDIO_SOURCE       ffmpeg audio input source, (default: "default").
    -t RECORDING_TIME     Length of recording time, in seconds, (default: 3).
    -r API_RETURN         AudD API return parameter, see https://docs.audd.io/,
                          (default: "apple_music,spotify").
    -o                    Use the "recognizeWithOffset" endpoint.

To use audd you will need to get an API key from audd. Provide the API key with either the -a option or by writing the API key to ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/audd/api_token:

$ echo "api-token" > "~/.config/audd/api_token"

audd can perform a query using an audio file (the file shouldn't be too large, typically shorter than 20 seconds), or if no file is provided, it will record an audio sample from the provided audio source (-s option).

You can use ffmpeg -sources pulse to list available sources.

I recommend reading the API docs to understand the -r and the -o options.
