Questions

Which errors can it return?

invalid_params (do not retry), unsupported_url (do not retry), not_found (do not retry). Account and platform errors from the errors list can also happen. A failure always costs 0 credits.

Is there an SDK call for it?

The preview Python client has client.apple_music.album(...) and the TypeScript client client.appleMusic.album(). Both return the same envelope as the HTTP API. The packages are not published yet; plain HTTP works today in any language.

Can an AI agent call it?

Yes. The MCP server reaches every built endpoint, with the same prices.
