Re: [freesound-api] Inquiry About Freesound API Usage and Licensing

[Frederic Font Corbera]

Hi,

Thanks for your message. You should be able to find answers to most of these questions in the API documentation (http://freesound.org/docs/api/) and in the Freesound help section (https://freesound.org/help/faq/). Please check them out and let me know if something is unclear.

For further inquiries about the commercial use for the API, please feel free to send me an email.

Cheers,

frederic

Hello!

I have several question about Freesound's API:

API Usage:

- How do authentication and API keys work for accessing the Freesound API?

- What are the rate limits for API usage, and how can they be increased if needed?

- Are there any restrictions on the type of applications that can use the API?

Licensing & Commercial Use:

- What types of licenses do the sounds in the Freesound database have?

- Can Freesound API content be used in commercial products, if yes, what conditions apply?

- Is there a way to filter search results to only include commercially usable sounds?

- Are there any limitations on redistributing sounds obtained through the API?

Additional:

- Are there any additional costs for using the API beyond standard rate limits?

Thank you for your time! I appreciate any information you can provide!
