Entering the Qianqian Music homepage and selecting Jay Chou’s “Confession Balloon” reveals that it’s a 2016 song with no preview available, which is sad. Is there a way to get the MP3 file? The answer is yes. A runnable program for music download is available at the end of the article.
Without further ado, I opened the charts and chose a new song that could be previewed; “Sheng Pi Zi” was the first one I could listen to.
1. Analyze API information
Opening the developer tools, I found that music files are definitely submitted through an API. Among many requests, I found a request that could retrieve music files. See the image below:
The songid parameter can be found in the current URL: http://music.taihe.com/song/611238837. It’s simple. from should be “web” or “app”, etc. The format defining the return data type doesn’t need to be changed. method doesn’t need to be changed. The _ parameter is a 13-digit timestamp. callback is the prefix of the returned JSON data. The 1546915161467 after the underscore is a 13-digit timestamp, while the preceding 17200943498528136486 is unknown. We’ll try to use the known parameters to see if we can retrieve information without changing the unknown content.
Python 3 code:
import requests
import time
apiurl= "http://musicapi.taihe.com/v1/restserver/ting"
callback = "jQuery17200943498528136486_"+str(round(time.time()*1000))
hua = str(round(time.time()*1000))
params = {"method"="baidu.ting.song.playAAC","format":"jsonp","songid":"611238837","from":"web","callback":callback,"_":hua}
text = requests.get(apiurl,params=params).text
text
It was successful in retrieving the result. Now, the next step is to download them in bulk.
2. Batch download music to local
Since the above example returns JSON formatted text, all that’s needed is to parse the JSON text using a JSON parser to get the MP3 file and then use requests to download it. Here’s the code:
import requests
import time
import re,json
def get_song_list():
text = requests.get("http://music.taihe.com").text
songid = re.findall(r'href="/song/(d+)"',text)
return songid
def get_mp3_address_and_download(songid):
apiurl= "http://musicapi.taihe.com/v1/restserver/ting"
callback = "jQuery17200943498528136486_"+str(round(time.time()*1000))
hua = str(round(time.time()*1000))
params = {"method":"baidu.ting.song.playAAC","format":"jsonp","songid":songid,"from":"web","callback":callback,"_":hua}
text = json.loads(requests.get(apiurl,params=params).text.split(callback)[1][1:-2])
song_address = text["bitrate"]["file_link"]
mp3w = open(songid+".mp3",'wb')
mp3w.write(requests.get(song_address).content)
mp3w.close()
def main():
try:
for songid in get_song_list():
get_mp3_address_and_download(songid)
except:
print("network error")
Now, all MP3s from the Qianqian Music homepage have been downloaded.

Then, use pyinstaller to package the script into an EXE file with the command:
pyinstaller --onefile download_music.py
Summary
Here, we used Python’s requests module to retrieve the music list from Qianqian Music’s homepage and download it locally. This method can bypass web page restrictions to download VIP music or copyright-restricted MP3 files. For your convenience, the EXE file has been compressed using ZIP.
