Spotify is the world's leading music streaming platform with 600M+ users and 100M+ tracks. The Spotify Web API enables developers to discover music and podcasts, manage Spotify libraries, control audio playback, access audio analysis, and build personalized music experiences.

Spotify publishes 15 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Albums API, Artists API, Audiobooks API, and 12 more. Tagged areas include Music, Audio, Streaming, Podcasts, and Playlists.

The Spotify catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
