What is the Genres API?

The Genres API in LineupIQ Insight provides access to the master list of recognized music genres. This API enables applications to retrieve a structured and standardized set of genres used across our platform for artist classification, event curation, and music analytics.

Authentication & Headers

All requests to the Genres API require authentication via API keys. The following headers must be included in each request:

x-app-id: Your application ID (required)

x-api-key: Your API key (required)

For security reasons, never expose your API credentials in public repositories or client-side applications.

Rate Limits

The Genres API enforces request limits to ensure system stability. Default rate limits:

Basic Tier: 1 request per second

Enterprise Tier: Custom rate limits available

For higher request volumes, contact our sales team to discuss enterprise plans.

Best Practices for Usage

Cache responses where possible to minimize redundant API calls.

Use the master genre list to standardize categorization across your platform.

Validate API responses to handle potential missing or unexpected values.

Monitor API usage to stay within rate limits and prevent throttling.
