Overview
Gaana is an unofficial API wrapper for the popular Indian music streaming platform Gaana. It lets you search for songs, albums, and artists without any authentication. This is a community-built project, so expect occasional breaking changes when Gaana updates their platform.
Beginner Tip
Since this is an unofficial wrapper, always handle errors gracefully and have a fallback in case the API is down. Test your requests in a browser first to confirm the endpoint is still live.
Available Data

const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
