Generate a User API key
-
Use a Creator account
The User API key is available with an active Creator plan, not Free or Premium. -
Open Settings > API
The API tab is marked BETA and shows the current key status. -
Select Generate API key
Copy the key immediately and keep it in a server-side secret store. -
Use the User API documentation
Check the current endpoints and scopes in the User API docs. Follow its pagination rules, response formats, and rate-limit headers.
Send a tracklist from a website or app
If your application already has a title and tracklist, use the separate Playlist Import endpoint. It accepts 1 to 200 tracks without a Creator User API key and returns a Soundiiz-hosted link that expires after 24 hours.
The visitor opens that temporary page, reviews the matches, and chooses a supported destination. The endpoint does not silently create a playlist in someone’s music account from your backend.
Requests beyond the public APIs
The Playlist Import page remains hosted by Soundiiz. Its documented fields can supply branding details, but it is not an embedded or fully white-labeled transfer engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Premium account generate a User API key?
No. Current key generation requires the Creator plan.
Can my app use one Creator key for all of its users?
No. The key is scoped to the Soundiiz account that created it and is not a multi-user commercial transfer credential.
Does Playlist Import require an API key or existing Soundiiz account?
It does not use the Creator User API key. It creates a temporary Soundiiz page where the visitor completes the destination flow.
Can I reveal an existing key again?
No. The interface masks it after creation. Delete the existing key and generate a replacement if you no longer have the original copy.
