Long arrays and strings are shortened here. Real responses are complete.

## One schema on 27 platforms.

The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/applemusic/artist/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/profile/index.md).

- ### Null means unknown

  A field Apple Music doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
- ### What it accepts

  The artist: its link (music.apple.com/us/artist/taylor-swift/159260351, with or without the slug and the store, any of its section pages such as /top-songs or /see-all, on music.apple.com, geo.music.apple.com or itunes.apple.com) or the number in that link (159260351).
- ### Write one parser

  Apple Music, TikTok, Instagram and 24 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

- **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
- **`id`string**: Platform-native account ID (string; YouTube UC…, Reddit t2_…).
- **`username`string**: Handle without the @; null when the account has none.
- **`display_name`string**: Display name, channel title or page name; null when empty or not exposed.
- **`url`string**: Canonical profile URL.
- **`type`string**: Coarse account kind, as the platform labels it; unknown when it does not (TikTok labels organizations only). New values may be added; treat unknown values as unknown.
- **`bio`string**: Profile bio, channel description or page about text; null when empty or not exposed.
- **`avatar_url`string**: Profile picture URL (largest available). Platform CDN URLs can expire within hours.

## What teams build with the Apple Music Artist API.

- ### Turn an artist link into bio and genres
- ### Build an artist page with top songs
- ### Find similar artists for a campaign
- ### Compare an artist across country stores

## Good to know before you build.

- Apple Music shows no follower, play or like counts for an artist, so metrics are null. It has no usernames, verified badges or links to other sites: username and is_verified are null and external_links is \[\].
- Each section holds what the artist's page shows first, up to ten items: top_songs is the top ten, not the catalog. A section the artist doesn't have is \[\].
- Stores differ: an artist can be missing from one or have its name and bio in another language. The answer comes from the store in country, else the link's store, else us, and platform_specific.applemusic.storefront says which.
- type is person or organization from Apple's group flag, and unknown when Apple doesn't state it. born_or_formed is Apple's text, in the answer's language.
- A curator's ID, such as a radio show's (platform_specific.applemusic.curator_id on the Apple Music Track API), isn't an artist and returns not_found. So does an account on another Apple store only: an App Store developer, a podcaster, an author with no Apple Music page.
- When Apple's catalog API fails, the answer comes from its public lookup API with the name, main genre, link and AllMusic ID only: type is unknown, the bio, pictures and origin are null, the sections are \[\] and listed in unknown_fields, and a request with lang fails rather than answer in another language.
