# Deezer Genres API

The genre ids behind charts, radios and genre artist lists.

`GET /v1/deezer/genres` returns `genres`, each with `id`, `name` and `images`. The name follows the `language` query parameter, for example `language=fr`; titles and names elsewhere are not translated. Genre id `0` means all genres on the chart and genre artists routes.

Use the list to resolve a genre name to an id before calling `/charts?genreId=...`, `/genres/{genreId}/artists` or `/radios?genreId=...`. The list is not paged.

## FAQ

### How many credits does this route cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.

### Can I translate genre names?

Yes. Pass language with a two letter code such as fr. Genre names follow it; track and album titles do not.

### What is genre id 0?

It means all genres. Use it on the charts route when you do not want a genre filter, or on the genre artists route to list artists across all genres.
