Generate

Playlist from a seed

Paste a Spotify URI for a track, artist or album. The endpoint answers with the playlists Spotify builds around it — no OAuth, no recommendation model of our own.

FAQ

Can I paginate through playlists with thousands of tracks?

Yes. /playlist_tracks accepts offset and limit parameters; the upstream maximum page size is 100. Loop until you've fetched the reported total.

How fresh is playlist follower data?

Metadata is pulled in real time from Spotify on each request. Snapshots store historical deltas for trend analysis.

Does seed_to_playlist need OAuth?

No. Pass a Spotify URI (track, artist, or album) and the endpoint returns the playlists Spotify generates around it, with no user-auth dance.

What audio features come back from /playlist_analysis?

Averages plus minimum and maximum for energy, danceability, valence, tempo, loudness, acousticness, instrumentalness, liveness and speechiness across every analysed track.

Can I build a clone of Spotify Wrapped with this?

Partially — for public playlists yes. Personal listening history requires Spotify Web API OAuth scopes which this proxy does not handle.
