iTunes Search API (Apple)
Search Apple's catalogue of music, podcasts, apps and movies with no key at all
Apple's iTunes Search API lets you search the iTunes Store and Apple Books Store for music, podcasts, apps, movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and music videos, plus an ID-based lookup endpoint for exact mapping. It is completely keyless and returns JSON. It is the de-facto free source for podcast feed URLs and album/track artwork.
