Embed Goat Music Ratings

Add a live album-rating widget to any blog, review site, or publication. Free, no API key required. Updates automatically as community scores change.

How It Works

  1. Find the album you want to embed on Goat Music and copy its UPC from the URL (e.g. goatmusic.me/album/075679666130)
  2. Replace the UPC in the iframe src below
  3. Paste the iframe anywhere in your HTML

Copy-Paste Code

Example: Back to Black by Amy Winehouse (UPC: 075679666130)

<iframe
  src="https://www.goatmusic.me/api/embed/rating/075679666130"
  width="320"
  height="110"
  frameborder="0"
  scrolling="no"
  style="border-radius:12px;border:1px solid #e5e7eb"
  title="Goat Music rating widget"
></iframe>

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it free?
Yes, always. No API key, no rate limits, no registration required.
How often does the score update?
The widget is cached for 1 hour. Scores reflect the live community average at the time of the last cache refresh.
Can I embed multiple albums?
Yes -- use a separate iframe for each UPC. There is no limit on the number of widgets per page.
What if the album has no ratings yet?
The widget shows "-- / 10" and a "Rate this album" link. Once ratings accumulate, the score appears automatically.
