Binaryify/NeteaseCloudMusicApi

★ 30,276 · updated Feb 2024

网易云音乐 Node.js API service

A Node.js API wrapper for NetEase Cloud Music (a Chinese streaming service) that reverse-engineered the private API. It has been officially abandoned — the readme is now just a copyright notice and two news links about the takedown.

- 30k stars and 15k forks indicate it was widely used and well-documented in its prime

- Served as a practical reference for how to reverse-engineer and wrap a private music streaming API in Node.js

- Officially dead — the repo was shut down due to copyright enforcement and is no longer maintained as of early 2024

- The entire codebase has been removed; the repo is now a single README with two news articles

- Built on a private, undocumented API that NetEase can and did break at will — fragile by design

- No migration path, no fork officially blessed by the author — anyone depending on this is on their own
