Social sound lookup API

Inspect a TikTok or Instagram sound and the available usage sample through a background lookup.

What to build with it

  1. Resolve the sound's platform-specific music ID.
  2. Start one lookup and retain its job ID until completion.
  3. Use the returned videos and sample-quality fields to explain any estimated usage pattern.

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

Endpoints and inputs

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

Before you integrate

  • Sound metadata does not grant a commercial music license. Check platform and rights-holder restrictions before using audio in an advertisement.

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.

Give this task to your coding agent

Help me implement social sound lookup api using the documented Virlo API.

Reference: https://allthemapis.com/social-media-apis/sound-lookup-api
Provider documentation: https://dev.virlo.ai/docs/satellite/sounds
Base URL: https://api.virlo.ai
Starting operation: GET /v1/satellite/sounds/status/{job_id}

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's platform-specific music ID.
2. Start one lookup and retain its job ID until completion.
3. Use the returned videos and sample-quality fields to explain any estimated usage pattern.

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.
