Get audio features for ONE track — BPM, musical key (name + Camelot + Open Key), energy, danceability, valence, acousticness, instrumentalness, liveness, speechiness, loudness, mood, mood_vector, genre, time signature, duration and more. This is the drop-in replacement for Spotify's deprecated /audio-features endpoint. Provide EXACTLY ONE identifier: - `track` (optionally with `artist`) — e.g. track="Blinding Lights", artist="The Weeknd". - `isrc` — e.g. "USUM71900001". - `mbid` — a MusicBrainz recording UUID. - `spotify_id` — a Spotify track ID, URI, or URL (resolves only the ~2.4% of the catalog already mapped to a Spotify ID; prefer `track`/`isrc` for full coverage). Returns a JSON object of features. Some feature fields may be null for tracks resolved via the fallback catalogs (only audio-derived values are present for fully analysed tracks). If a track name is not yet in the catalog, the API queues an on-demand analysis and this tool reports that it is queued — retry in ~30s-2min. If you only have a fuzzy or partial name, call search_catalog first to find the exact track.

Get audio features for MANY tracks in one call (up to 50 processed) — ideal for analysing a whole playlist at once. Identify each item by name (`track`/`artist`), by `isrc` (matched exactly first — best for CJK / K-pop / niche tracks whose fuzzy name-match misses), or both (ISRC first, name as the fallback). One bad entry never fails the batch. Items beyond the 50-per-call cap come back with `found: false` and `backfill_status: "over_limit"`; an item missing BOTH `track` and `isrc` comes back `"invalid_no_query"`. Neither is processed or charged — the response's `skipped` field counts them, so split a long list into calls of <=50 and resubmit any skipped rows. Returns counts (`found` / `not_found` / `skipped`) plus a per-track `results` array, where each entry's `result` is the same feature object as get_audio_features (or null when not found), and `isrc` is echoed back. An item is billed only when it returns features or queues an on-demand ingest; an ISRC/name with no match anywhere is free. For a single track, use get_audio_features.

Full-text search the catalog by any mix of track / artist / album tokens. Use this to resolve a fuzzy, partial, or misspelled name into concrete tracks BEFORE calling get_audio_features. Returns lightweight stubs (itunes_track_id, track_name, artist_name, album, etc.) ranked by relevance — NOT audio features. Take the best match's track_name + artist_name and pass them to get_audio_features, or reuse its itunes_track_id as a `track_id` seed for discovery tools.

Find catalog tracks near a target tempo. Returns tracks whose BPM is within +/-`tolerance` of `bpm`, ordered by closeness then popularity — useful for DJ set planning, workout playlists, or tempo-matching. Each returned track carries full audio features. To also constrain by musical key, combine with find_tracks_by_key.

Find catalog tracks in a given musical key — for harmonic mixing and key-locked playlists. `key` accepts Camelot ("8A"), Open Key ("1m"), or a key name ("A-Minor", "F#-Major"). Returns tracks ordered by popularity, each with full audio features. To discover which keys mix well with a given key first, use find_compatible_keys.

Given a Camelot key (e.g. "8A", "12B"), return the harmonically compatible keys for DJ mixing — the same key, the relative major/minor, and the adjacent +/-1 keys on the Camelot wheel. With `extended=true` also returns the +7/-7 energy-boost / energy-drop keys. Pure music theory — no catalog lookup and no quota cost. Pair with find_tracks_by_key to then pull actual tracks in each compatible key.

Score how well one catalog track mixes into another (0-100) — the pairwise DJ transition score no raw key/BPM API gives you. Combines Camelot-wheel key compatibility, octave-aware BPM proximity (half/double-time counts as a match), and energy smoothness. Returns the overall `score`, per-component scores (`harmonic`/`tempo`/`energy`), a `detail` block (key_relation, both Camelot keys, both BPMs, bpm_delta, bpm_octave_matched, both energies, energy_delta), and a one-line human `reason` (e.g. "8A->9A adjacent (+1), 126->128 BPM (+2), energy +0.04 — clean uplifting mix"). Both ids are catalog itunes_track_ids — get them from search_catalog or the itunes_track_id field of a get_audio_features result. Costs 1 quota unit.

Given a seed track, return the top-N catalog tracks to play NEXT, ranked by transition score. Each suggestion carries the same `score`, per-component scores and human `reason` as score_transition (e.g. "11B->11B same key, 118->117 BPM (-0.29), energy +0.12"), plus its `genre` and `genre_relation` to the seed. GENRE-AWARE by default (cross_genre=auto): off-genre picks that only coincidentally share the seed's key/BPM sink to the bottom — use cross_genre=strict for same-genre-family only, or allow for the old harmonic-only ranking. It is the seed's sonic neighbours re-ranked for a clean mix. Returns `seed`, `count`, and a `suggestions` array of {track, score, components, reason}. seed_track_id is a catalog itunes_track_id from search_catalog or a get_audio_features result. Pair with build_setlist to order a whole crate. Costs 3 quota units.

Order a crate of 2-100 catalog tracks into a beat-matched DJ set that follows an energy arc, keeping each consecutive transition harmonically and tempo-smooth. `arc` is one of peak_time (default — builds to a peak then eases), warmup, cooldown, or flat. Returns the `arc`, `count`, an overall `flow_score` (0-100), the `tracks` in play order, the per-step `transitions` ({from_index, to_index, score, reason}), and `omitted` (ids not found in the catalog). Feed tracks[].itunes_track_id into a Rekordbox/Serato export to drop the set straight into your DJ software. track_ids are catalog itunes_track_ids. Costs 5 quota units.

Recommended tracks for one or more seed tracks — the drop-in for Spotify's removed GET /v1/recommendations. Blends up to 5 catalog seed tracks into a single point in audio-feature space and returns the nearest catalogue tracks, RE-RANKED by genre affinity (so a feature-close cross-genre track doesn't outrank same-genre picks). Returns `seeds` (each {id, found}), `count`, and `tracks` (each {track, score}; each track carries its `genre`). `score` is the raw audio-feature cosine similarity in [0,1]; genre affinity influences the ORDER, not the score, so the list is NOT strictly score-descending. Use cross_genre=strict to return same-genre-family tracks ONLY (off-genre dropped server-side), or allow to disable the genre ranking. seed_tracks are catalog itunes_track_ids from search_catalog or the itunes_track_id field of a get_audio_features result. NO id? Pass `track` (+ optional `artist`) instead and we resolve the name to the best catalog match and seed on it — the resolved track is echoed back as `seed_query`; seed_tracks wins if both are given. Costs 2 quota units.

Artists related to a seed artist — the drop-in for Spotify's removed GET /v1/artists/{id}/related-artists. No artist graph exists, so we derive one: build the seed artist's track-vector centroid, take its nearest catalogue tracks, aggregate by artist (each scored on its top-3 track similarities so a prolific artist can't dominate) plus a same-genre lift and a cross-genre penalty. Returns `artist`, `count`, and `related` (each {artist_name, score, match_count, sample_track_id}). Pass a sample_track_id straight to get_audio_features or suggest_next_track. Costs 2 quota units.

Get a compact, HONESTLY-LABELLED tag list for a track — energy / danceability / valence / acousticness / instrumentalness, plus a mood tag and a broad genre tag. It is a tag-shaped projection of the same open-data analysis get_audio_features returns (no audio upload, no extra compute), so it costs the same 1 quota unit, charged only on a served result. The differentiator vs opaque taggers (e.g. Cyanite) is that EVERY tag carries its own `confidence` and `provenance`: - confidence: measured (our Essentia analysis) | derived (MIREX mood from valence+energy) | model-estimated (AcousticBrainz mood SVM probability — research-grade, raw prob in `value`) | catalog-genre (broad catalogue tag, not fine-grained). - provenance: essentia | valence+energy | acousticbrainz | catalog. `value` is the [0,1] score for numeric tags and null for label-only tags (mood category, genre). Provide EXACTLY ONE identifier: `track` (optionally with `artist`), `isrc`, `mbid`, `spotify_id`, or `track_id` (catalog itunes_track_id). The broad, reliable coverage is the MEASURED tags from our Essentia analysis over the analysed catalogue (plus on-demand by name); MBID/ISRC additionally reach 7.5M+ AcousticBrainz recordings WHEN you supply that identifier. Returns { track, count, tags:[{tag, category, value, confidence, provenance}], disclaimer }. For the full numeric feature set use get_audio_features; for nearest tracks use a discovery tool.
