Clear Queue API

SmoothDagger — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 17:14:43 GMT

Hi there,

Is it possible to reveal the REST endpoint to clear the active queue from the user's queued up songs, via., Add to Queue? I saw there was an endpoint used from tracing calls in Microsoft Edge that used the set_queue endpoint in the payload, but this endpoint is not displayed as usable in the Spotify Web API documentation. This is sent from the Clear Queue button in the Spotify web player & desktop app that appears in the queue tab.

I've seen this recommended in previous posts:

[API] Delete / Remove songs from queue - The Spotify Community

Cheers,

Jason

Hi SmoothDagger,

Currently there is no publicly accessible Spotify Web API to do this.

Hi Ximzend,

Are there any plans to reveal this API? It seems it's a relatively in-demand feature from what I've seen, but it's been requested for 4 years, which is an extremely long time. Should I go off the expectation this will not be added for developer use any time soon, if ever?

Cheers,

Jason

Hi SmoothDagger,

As an normal user, I don't have internal information about it.

Because of my choice of words, you might have understood differently. Sorry about that.

We don't have any plans to add this in the near future, but we hear you, and would of course like to offer this as well.

Just bumping this to say it is still sorely needed for certain applications. Please expose a clear queue endpoint. Thank you!

The clear queue endpoint clearly exists in the app. Why doesn't it exist for API users?

Indeed an endpoint to clear queue would be very much appreciated!
