Audio Sourcing — BGM & SFX

Find and download royalty-free background music (BGM) and sound effects (SFX) for video production. Primary source: artlist.io via public GraphQL API (no browser, no login needed).

When to Use

• Need background music for a Remotion Engine video scene
• Need sound effects (whoosh, impact, click, typing) for transitions

Prerequisites

• Node.js ≥ 18 (built-in fetch API required)
• ffmpeg installed (brew install ffmpeg or apt install ffmpeg)
• curl NOT required — the script uses native Node.js HTTP
• No login, API key, or browser required
