Tools
Tool | Description |
| Search for guitar, bass, or drum tabs by keyword (song title, artist, or phrase) |
| Get the single best matching tab for a search query (e.g. "enter sandman") |

Tab notation
Songsterr’s public API only exposes search and song metadata (title, artist, track names). The actual tab notation (the notes/tablature) is not available via any documented public endpoint — it’s rendered in the browser on Songsterr. Every result includes a view_url that uses the current site URL pattern (e.g. /a/wsa/artist-title-tab-s123). Open that link to view and play the tab on Songsterr.
