Suno has started exploring the launch of a developer API for its AI music generation platform, revealed in a LinkedIn post this week.
AI music platform Suno has revealed plans for the launch of a developer API, announced in a LinkedIn post by the companyâs Chief Product Officer, Jack Brody, on Wednesday. Brody included a link to an intake form, allowing developers to apply for early access.
âAhead of our partner-powered model, weâre exploring a developer API and want to hear from you before we start building,â wrote Brody. âWe plan to start with a curated group of partners so we can develop this thoughtfully, and weâre especially interested in applications that unlock experiences generative music makes possible for the first time.â
Suno doesnât yet offer an official public API, though third-party developers have created unofficial API wrappers. But an official API would further extend Sunoâs range to integrate with other software, and for other software to request Sunoâs services. Developers could then easily implement AI-fueled music generation into their own products.
The developer intake form explains that the company is âbeginning to explore a developer API, starting with a curated group of partners,â asking developers to âcomplete this form to express your interest.â Suno says theyâll be in touch âwith a small group of folks to learn more,â but has not yet disclosed a timeline for a potential launch.
The exploration of an official developer API comes at an important time for Suno, which completed a $400 million Series D funding round last month at a whopping $5.4 billion valuationâmore than double its valuation after its $250 million Series C completed late last year.
Importantly, Sunoâs only licensing partnership with a music industry major to date is its deal in November with Warner Music Group, which settled the copyright lawsuit WMG filed against the company. Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment still have active cases against the company, and just last month filed a motion to add over 61,000 copyrighted sound recordings to their original claim.
