Qobuz (qobuz)

Qobuz is a French hi-res audio streaming and download platform founded in 2007 and operated by Xandrie SA. It offers lossless FLAC streaming up to 24-bit/192 kHz and a hi-res download store covering over 100 million tracks across all genres. The Qobuz REST API (v0.2) is a partner-only interface that enables third-party applications — hi-fi hardware manufacturers, DAPs, music players, and streaming integrators — to search the catalog, retrieve album and artist metadata, generate authenticated streaming URLs, manage user playlists and favorites, and process purchases from the hi-res download store. API access requires contacting Qobuz directly at api@qobuz.com to obtain an app_id and app_secret. Consumer subscription plans (Studio Solo, Studio Duo, Studio Family, Sublime) provide the underlying access entitlement; partners and integrators are subject to the Qobuz API Terms of Use governed by French law. The service is deployed across France, Germany, and Canada infrastructure nodes monitored via a public status page.

Qobuz Music API

The Qobuz Music API (v0.2) is a REST interface served at https://www.qobuz.com/api.json/0.2 returning JSON responses. It covers user authentication (email/password or token-based with MD5-hashed credentials plus app_id and app_secret), catalog operations (search albums, artists, tracks, and playlists), detailed metadata retrieval (album/get, artist/get, track/get, playlist/get), streaming and download URL generation (track/getFileUrl with format codes 5=MP3-320, 6=FLAC-CD, 7=FLAC-HiRes-96kHz, 27=FLAC-HiRes-192kHz), and user account management (favorite/getUserFavorites). Request signing for protected endpoints uses an MD5 hash of concatenated path parameters, a timestamp, and the app_secret. Access requires a valid Qobuz subscription (Studio or Sublime) and partner credentials issued by Qobuz.
