description: ACRCloud provides automatic content recognition (ACR) APIs for music
  and audio. The HMAC-signed Identification API recognizes music, custom audio, live
  channels, and humming from short audio samples or fingerprints, while the
  bearer-token Console and Metadata APIs manage buckets, file-scanning containers,
  broadcast-monitoring projects, and rich third-party music metadata.
