description: AudD is a music recognition service. Its REST API identifies songs from
  short audio clips, uploaded files or URLs on api.audd.io, scans audio and video files
  of any length on the enterprise endpoint (enterprise.audd.io), monitors live audio
  streams with results delivered by callback or longpoll, and adds an account's own
  tracks to a custom catalog (special access). Matches return track metadata (artist,
  title, album, ISRC) with optional Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer and MusicBrainz data.

  request: 'AudD API Team (api@audd.io), 2026-10-07: (1) the OpenAPI in the repo is not theirs -- use https://audd.io/openapi.json
    (OpenAPI 3.1, also in https://audd.io/.well-known/api-catalog); (2) humming/singing recognition is legacy and unsupported -- exclude
    it; (3) lyrics search is not a supported feature -- remove the Lyrics API and lyrics tags; (4) results no longer include Napster;
    (5) errors, including rate-limit errors, are HTTP 200 with "status": "error" and an error code, never 429; (6) the enterprise
    endpoint and the streams API are documented and in the spec; (7) recognition requests modify nothing and should not be labelled write.'

    Removed the pipeline-written 3.0.1 _original (it invented recognizeWithOffset, findLyrics and humming) and its Lyrics/Recognition
    splits; archived the provider''s spec verbatim and re-split into Recognition, Streams and Custom Catalog APIs; regenerated the Postman
    and Open Collection files from the new splits and removed the lyrics and combined ones. Lyrics tag and humming/lyrics plan, finops
    and review text removed; Napster dropped from the description and README (note: the provider''s own spec still defines a NapsterMetadata
    schema, "may be absent"). Rate limits now record HTTP 200 + status error, no 429. Agentic access re-derived from the new spec and
    recognize/recognizeEnterprise curated to read (method: searched). api-catalog harvested into well-known/ and pointed to.'
