Spotify API

Get Spotify data as clean JSON with one key: 10 endpoints, 1 to 5 credits per call, the same response shape as every other platform.

What you get#

Onekey exposes Spotify as 10 endpoints behind one API key: 5 endpoints return one record (data is an object) and 5 endpoints return a list (data is an array). Every answer uses the same envelope (success, data, metadata, error), the cost is reported in metadata.credits_charged, and fields are mapped onto the unified schema so the code you write for Spotify also works for the rest of the music & audio category.

Endpoints#

EndpointWhat it doesParametersCreditsStatus
albumSpotify album by id.id*1beta
artistSpotify artist by id.id*1beta
artist_top_tracksTop tracks of a Spotify artist (US).id*5beta
new_releasesNew album releases on Spotify.-5beta
oembedSpotify embed metadata for a track/album/playlist/artist/episode/show URL (oEmbed).url*1stable
podcastA Spotify podcast (show): title, publisher, description, cover, rating where available.id, url2beta may need a pack
podcast_episodesEpisodes of a Spotify podcast, newest first.id, url, cursor2beta may need a pack
search_artistsSearch Spotify artists.q*5beta
search_tracksSearch Spotify tracks.q*1beta
trackSpotify track by id.id*1beta

A * marks a required parameter. Each endpoint name links to its reference page with the full parameter table, caching window and a recorded response.

Make a request#

This calls spotify.oembed (1 credit, stable). Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key; sign up, no card. 1,000 free credits cover the open-platform endpoints. Hard-to-reach platforms (X, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and others marked on their page) need a verified email and a purchased pack.

curl "https://api.onekey.dev/v1/spotify/oembed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Ftrack%2F4uLU6hMCjMI75M1A2tKUQC" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Fields you get back#

These unified fields come back from Spotify, with the same names as on every other platform. The count is how many of its 10 mapped endpoints return the field; a field the source lacks is null, never missing. 4 platform-specific fields (ext.<name>) come on top, documented on each endpoint page.
