Embed Goat Music Ratings

Add a live album-rating widget to any blog, review site, or publication. Free, no API key required. Scores appear provisionally after 20 qualified public ratings and always include the sample size.

How It Works

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

Copy-Paste Code

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

<iframe

  height="110"
  frameborder="0"
  scrolling="no"

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. Once 20 qualified public ratings exist, it shows a provisional community average and its sample size.
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 sample is still small?: Below 5 public ratings the widget hides both score and count. From 5 to 19 it shows a count-only early signal. At 20 it adds a clearly provisional score.
