Spotify is a digital music service that gives you access to millions of songs.
What is the Spotify API and what can I do with it?Spotify Api App Ideas Free![]()
Spotify API Examples
Spotify has over 30 million songs in their catalogue (organized by artist and genre), not to mention countless playlists. That makes for one robust musical database. Spotifyâs Public API lets you call data based on artist, album, song, playlist or related artist. Not bad for a music lover!
Weâve built an API package that lets you call the Spotify Public API right from your browser, then export the code (in the language of your choice, obvs) into your script.
How to call the Spotify Public API
First step, head over to the Spotify Public API package page! Next, pick the endpoint youâd like to call. Finally, fill in the parameters and click âTest Function.â Bam! Youâve just called the Spotify API.
Some Spotify API endpoints require a Spotify ID for a certain artist. You can get the Spotify ID for an artist by calling the
searchArtists endpoint and getting the Spotify ID from the results of the API call. Hereâs how to do it:
Need more functionality?
Not all projects needs will be filled with our Spotify Public API package alone. If you want to build something using user information (ex. pull a Spotify userâs followed artists), we have a Spotify User API package that includes that functionality. While Spotify actually doesnât separate the User and Public into two APIs, we built two packages to separate the methods that require an API key (User API) from those that donât (Public API).
To use the Spotify User API package, youâll need to get the
client_ID and client_Key from Spotify directly. Hereâs how to get them:
Project Ideas
The Spotify Developer Showcase has some very cool projects built with the Spotify API for your inspiration. We had a few ideas of our own as well! One of the biggest reasons we built RapidAPI is so developers could call multiple APIs from one endpoint. Here are some cool project ideas connecting the Spotify Public API to others on the marketplace.
Let us know about any cool stuff you build in the comments below! Weâd love to see anything you come up with.
