Apps

The app provides, among others, the Client ID and Client Secret needed to implement any of the authorization flows.

Authentication

An access token is a string that holds your credentials and permissions, allowing you to access Spotify resources (e.g., artists, albums, tracks) or user data (e.g., your profile or playlists).

Authentication with Postman

This guide walks you through the Authorization Code Flow to obtain and use access tokens for the Spotify Web API, even without a running server. Use Postman to test the process and resolve common issues like the "response_type must be code or token" error.

Authorization Code

The Authorization Code Flow is ideal for long-running applications, such as web and mobile apps, where users grant permission once and it persists.

Errors and Status

The Spotify Web API is a RESTful API that provides JSON metadata about music artists, albums, and tracks directly from the Spotify Data Catalogue.

Overview

Welcome to the Spotify Web API documentation your gateway to building powerful music applications.

Quick Start

This guide will help you make your first Spotify Web API call to get a [200 OK] response, retrieving an artist’s metadata. Let’s get started!

Rate Limits

If your app makes a high volume of Web API requests in a short period, it may receive a 429 Too Many Requests error response from Spotify. This indicates that your app has exceeded the Web API rate limit, which is designed to ensure API reliability and encourage responsible usage by third-party developers.

Redirect URIs

Beginning on the 9th of April 2025 we will enforce the subsequent validations to all newly created apps.

Refresh Token

A refresh token is a security credential that allows client applications to obtain new access tokens without requiring users to reauthorize the application.

Spotify URIs and IDs

When interacting with the Spotify Web API, you’ll frequently encounter various identifier parameters in requests and responses. Below are the key types of identifiers and how to use them.
