Ask HN: Alternative ways to get streaming source data

1 pointsthasaleni8y ago1 comments

If you built a music streaming URL sharing site, much like smarturl but smarter, what would you use to find the different streaming sites urls? The idea of this app is, you can paste the url of the site you listened from, get a shareable link, and share with your friends and they can click on any of the other links to the streaming sites they use.

Hi OP here: I am building a music sharing app i.e (you paste any URL from any* streaming site, you get all other streaming sites links to the same song/album). I managed to make this work as a proof of concept (using Bing Cognitive Search) but the rate limit is quite low at 1k p/m, i'm looking for alternative ways to get the different urls. Check working example of site here: http://www.musicshare.ninja/artist/Kendrick%20Lamar%20/album... if by the time you hit this link I've hit my quota, believe me it works.
