The record

Purpose: Search identifies music and rightsholders for licensing, compliance, and anti-piracy.
Registry: The Vobile Music Registry contains more than 120 million recordings, including Sony, Universal, and Warner catalog.
Modified audio: Search can identify remixes, mashups, nightcore edits, short segments, and multi-track mixes.
Composition matching: Proprietary melody matching can find cover versions, live performances, and other uses of compositions that differ from original recordings.
Search workflows: The product page says Search can check entire files against databases, public content, or user uploads and return results in real time through its SDK.
Brand use: Brands can search social media posts during or after upload to identify music use, or request a custom audit from the Vobile Music Team.
Integration: The SDK has language bindings for Python, Go, PHP, and Node.js.
SDK platforms: For production and large-scale deployments, the SDK documentation lists Debian 11+/Ubuntu 20.04+ and Red Hat 8+; ARM-based Mac builds are for development and testing only.
API availability: The Search API documentation says the APIs are in private testing and are not yet publicly available.
API file limit: The API documentation recommends keeping uploaded media files under 100 MB.
Security: The Search API uses OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials, and its access tokens are valid for two hours.
Privacy: Vobile's privacy policy says Microsoft Azure stores data on its behalf and that Azure servers are based in the USA and overseas.
Support: The Search API documentation directs customers to their Vobile representative or [email protected] for additional information.
Company history: Pex says it was founded in 2014 and acquired by Vobile in 2025.
