Get media information from YouTube and Vimeo videos, Spotify tracks and Discogs releases.
Media Now is an API that proxies and unifies different providers. Creating new providers is straight forward (example).
Here is a hopefully self-explanatory list of endpoints. Try them!
- /youtube/YyI52_FEYgY
- /vimeo/121814744
- /discogs/1728315
- /spotify/3S2R0EVwBSAVMd5UMgKTL0
- /analyse/3S2R0EVwBSAVMd5UMgKTL0
- /spotify-search/Michael%20Jackson%20-%20Thriller
The data returned will (mostly) be formatted like so:
{
"provider": "youtube",
"id": "YyI52_FEYgY",
"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyI52_FEYgY",
"title": "I Due Nemici",
"thumbnail": "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YyI52_FEYgY/default.jpg",
"duration": 6300 // seconds,
"status" {} // privacy info, is it embeddable etc.
}You'll need node.js and yarn (or npm) installed.
- git clone this repo and cd into it
yarn installyarn start
Some requests require authentication. Copy the .env-example file to .env and replace the keys with your own. You can register (free) here:

This used to be deployed to media.now.sh, but it no longer is. Deploying to Heroku works.
