I built an open API for AI music licensing — search tracks, buy licenses, verify ownership programmatically (early access, payments pending)
been building cambrian for the past couple months as a solo founder. it's a marketplace for AI-generated music — creators upload from any generator (suno, udio, custom models), set their own prices, buyers get commercial licenses. shipped the public API today: GET /api/v1/tracks search by genre/mood/price GET /api/v1/tracks/{id} track + license tiers GET /api/v1/genres genres with counts GET /api/v1/creators/{id} creator profile + catalog POST /api/v1/licenses initiates stripe checkout GET /api/v1/licenses/{id}/verify public verification X-API-Key auth, keys start with cbr_, generated from your dashboard. being fully transparent about where we're at: payments are pending stripe atlas verification (c-corp setup), so purchases aren't processing yet — should clear in the next few days. catalog is being actively seeded. the API, key system, search, and verification all work right now and you can build against it today. the positioning is tool-agnostic: ElevenLabs only accepts their generator, Udio is a walled garden. cambrian accepts any generator and has a public API — that's the actual differentiator. stack: .net 8 / postgresql / stripe connect / next.js on vercel / render for the backend. docs: cambrianmusic.com/developers happy to answer anything about the build or the product. if you make AI music and want to be an early creator, drop a reply.
