Show HN: Galiboo – An A.I.-powered API for music

Hi guys! At our startup, Galiboo, we've created an AI-powered API for music, which can do things like: - searching for music with natural language - extracting hundreds of moods & emotions from any track - finding tracks by tags - get similar-sounding music - and more. The website is https://galiboo.com/ , and the API docs are at apidocs.galiboo.com. We've also got a live demo at demo.galiboo.com. We also have a Python client library at https://github.com/galiboo/galiboo-python . Our APIs are in beta, so we'd love to hear your thoughts & feedback! :) Thanks!
