Apple Music Charts API
Scrape Apple Music Charts data with one API call. Returns what a country is playing most on Apple Music right now: the Top Songs, Top Albums, Top Music Videos or Top Playlists chart, with no keyword in. Each item is a Post: `content.text` is the title, `author.username` the artist, `url` the Apple Music link and `content.thumbnail_url` the artwork. The chart position is on `ext.trend`: `rank` (1 is the top), `country_code`, `chart` and Apple's own `chart_title` and `updated_at`. `ext.apple_music` carries `kind`, `release_date`, `artist_id`, `artist_url`, `genres` and `content_advisory`. `published_at` is the release date at midnight UTC. Playlists have no artist or release date, so those are null. The item ids work with /v1/apple_music/track and /v1/apple_music/album for the full record. A country Apple Music does not publish a chart for is a free 400. Exact repeats within an hour are served from cache at 0 credits.

const data = await response.json();Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| country | No | Country as an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, in any case (`us`, `DE`, `kr`). Apple Music publishes a chart for most countries where it is sold; one it does not is rejected with a free 400. `uk` is read as `gb`. Defaults to `us`. |
| type | No | Which chart: `songs` (the default), `albums`, `music-videos` or `playlists`. (songs | albums | music-videos | playlists) |
| limit | No | How many chart positions to return, from the top, 1 to 100. Defaults to 50. |
