Sound details and usage history API

What to build with it

Resolve the sound ID from search or a discovery feed.
Read its metadata and timestamped usage observations separately.
Inspect associated videos and describe the observed window when reporting adoption.

Provider reference: Virlo documentation. Authentication uses a provider-issued Bearer token, stored on your server.

Endpoints and inputs

3 documented operations. Query and path fields are listed separately from JSON request-body fields.

GET/v1/sounds/{sound_id}/usage-history

Path and query parameters

sound_id: string (path) · required
start_date: string (query) · optional

Before you integrate

An indexed usage history may be sparse. Do not silently interpolate missing days or call sampled totals a complete platform count.

Check the provider's current price, allowed use and retention terms before sending requests. An optional field can be absent; the schema alone does not establish its completeness or accuracy.

sound-analytics-api agent prompt

Help me implement sound details and usage history api using the documented Virlo API.

Reference: https://allthemapis.com/social-media-apis/sound-analytics-api
Provider documentation: https://dev.virlo.ai/docs/sounds
Base URL: https://api.virlo.ai
Starting operation: GET /v1/sounds/{sound_id}/usage-history

Read the current provider docs and confirm the required inputs before writing code. Load VIRLO_API_KEY from a server-side environment variable and use Bearer authentication. Do not put the key in client code, logs, analytics, or the chat.

Ask me for any missing video URL, creator handle, research intent, or job ID. Do not invent a result. Ask for approval before starting billable lookups, recurring jobs, or destructive changes. For jobs, keep the returned ID and poll with the documented delay instead of starting the job twice. Handle pagination, rate limits, partial results, and missing fields explicitly.

Build the smallest integration for this task:
1. Resolve the sound ID from search or a discovery feed.
2. Read its metadata and timestamped usage observations separately.
3. Inspect associated videos and describe the observed window when reporting adoption.

Return the code, the environment variables I need, and a short explanation of what was actually retrieved versus inferred. Do not execute paid requests until I approve.
