Xeno-canto API

Documentationhttps://xeno-canto.org/explore/api

Description

API for accessing bird and wildlife sounds from around the world. Provides a RESTful JSON-based interface to search for and retrieve recordings of various species.

What can you use it for?

Build a bird-song explorer, a dataset downloader for research, or an ID-by-ear practice app using real field recordings. You can search by species, country, tags, date and more, then fetch metadata and audio links to stream or download. It’s friendly for prototypes and research — you only need a free account key to get started. Check each recording’s license if you plan to redistribute or use recordings commercially.
