# Demoify: try Managed Transfers with a demo destination
URL: https://musicapi.com/docs/managed-transfers/demoify.md

> Demoify is a pretend music service that keeps what a transfer writes. Use it to see the whole hosted flow before your own service is connected.

Product: MusicAPI Managed Transfers. Section: Managed Transfers.

Demoify is a pretend music service by MusicAPI. It needs no account and no sign-in, it keeps what a transfer writes, and it shows the result as a small streaming app: home, library, liked tracks, albums, artists and every playlist. Nothing is written to a real music service.

## Two ways to use it

### The public demo

Anybody can try it, with no MusicAPI account:

```url
https://app.musicapi.com/demo/transfer
```

Pick a source. The **Sample library** needs no sign-in. A real service works too: the user's own account is only read, never changed. At the end, the user opens the transferred library in Demoify.

A public demo library and the source account behind it are deleted after **7 days**. Every Demoify screen shows the date.

### Your own flow, before your service is ready

A `transferring` sign-up starts with Demoify as its **Transfer destination**. Your own transfer URL then works on the first day:

```url
https://app.musicapi.com/{slug}/transfer
```

Use it to check your branding, your webhooks and the Match Results API with real libraries. When your service is ready, pick it as the destination on the **Transfer Branding** page.

## What Demoify shows

- Every transferred playlist, liked track, album and artist.
- The unmatched items, marked in each collection.
- A bar that says it is a demo, and that no real service was written to.

## What is different from a real destination

- Requests to Demoify and to the Sample library are never metered. In your own flow, the requests to a real source service count as usual.
- Demoify and the Sample library never show in a public service list, and the catalog search does not cover them.

## In the API

| Service        | Integration type |
| -------------- | ---------------- |
| Demoify        | `demo`           |
| Sample library | `sample`         |

The `demo` account uses these two services as transfer destinations. The docs sandbox (Try it, signed out) runs the library calls on the music account that you connect.
