pyobjc-framework-ShazamKit
Wrappers for the framework ShazamKit on macOS
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need to integrate ShazamKit audio recognition into a Python application. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive MIT license. Install friction is moderate due to platform and Python version constraints, but these are inherent to the framework binding, not the package itself. Not applicable on non-macOS platforms.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- macOS only; requires Python 3.10 or later; requires Cocoa framework available on the system.
- Medium friction: platform-specific wheels for macOS only (Python 3.10–3.15), requiring pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa as runtime dependencies.
- Active maintenance with a release 3 days old and recent commits.

What it is and what it does
pyobjc-framework-shazamkit is a thin Python wrapper around Apple's ShazamKit framework, part of the broader PyObjC project that bridges Python and Objective-C on macOS. It allows Python developers to call ShazamKit APIs directly from Python code, enabling audio recognition and music identification features in macOS applications. The package does not include its own documentation; instead, it defers to Apple's ShazamKit documentation and PyObjC's general translation guidelines.
The wrapper is maintained as part of the PyObjC ecosystem and requires both pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa as runtime dependencies. It is platform-specific to macOS and supports Python 3.10 through 3.15. Because it is a direct binding to a native framework, it carries the constraints of the underlying ShazamKit API and the macOS platform.
Use it for
- Build a macOS desktop app that identifies songs from audio input using ShazamKit's native recognition engine.
- Integrate music identification into a Python-based macOS utility or daemon that processes audio files.
- Prototype or script ShazamKit functionality for macOS automation tasks that require song recognition.
- Combine ShazamKit with other PyObjC frameworks to build multimedia applications on macOS.
