Forever pre-save

Officialartists — Fri, 05 May 2023 19:53:36 GMT

Hi there,

I've seen companies provide a forever pre-save functionality as a feature. I was wondering if someone could guide me (& my developer) to build a similar feature.

So, I'm an artist and have my own website and would like my audience to presave my music forever. Meaning that once they pre-save ONCE, every single project after that is automatically pres-saved and placed in their library.

Again, I know it's possible because companies provide this features, however, I would like to build it from scratch with my web developer, for my own site. Can someone guide us towards the right track here?

Thanks in advance!

Any news on this? Anyone?

This is most likely not a feature Spotify offers, but you could set up web hooks that trigger on a date, or user authorization. Pull the tracks data from the artist > if there is new music and the user agrees to forever saves then a web hook that saves would trigger when the track is available. This is exactly how pre-saves in general. Pre-saves are not managed by Spotify but by whatever 3rd party service wants to implement. If I'm wrong someone please correct me.

It's possible by storing the authentication token and refresh token of the user in a database for later use.
