It looks like Autocanonizer depends on (the now defunct) Echo Nest (http://the.echonest.com). Spotify bought it back in '16, and the site stopped serving content sometime mid-May of 2020.

Echo Nest was one hell of an analysis company. We lost some amazing work when Spotify purchased it. The silverlining is that their Audio Analysis API endpoint is basically Echo Nest's work made wholesale available for each song they have but we lost the potential for improvements. This many years out, who knows what they'd have been able to do.
