Request for Full-Length Access to Spotify API for Chord.cat Nonprofit Project

spiritual — Sun, 27 Oct 2024 09:28:57 GMT

Hello Spotify Team,

I hope you’re all doing well. My name is Josh, and I’ve recently created a nonprofit organization, Chord.cat, which is aimed at providing students and others with easy access to lofi music on our website. The mission behind Chord.cat is to offer a relaxing and creative space through music, helping students and others enjoy quality content without barriers.

Currently, we’re using Spotify’s API to provide music on our platform, but we’re encountering a limitation that only allows 30-second previews. We’d love to offer users the ability to listen to full-length tracks without requiring them to log in through Spotify’s SDK, as this login requirement can be a barrier for many of our users.

If there’s any possibility to grant our nonprofit full-track access through the API without login, I’d be more than willing to comply with any conditions, sign agreements, or abide by any rules needed to make this possible. Our goal is purely to serve students and anyone who could benefit from a tranquil musical experience, and Spotify’s platform is simply unmatched for this.

Thank you so much for the invaluable work you do for music, and I genuinely appreciate any guidance or help you can offer to bring this vision to life.

Best regards,
**bleep**

Hi @spiritual

Spotify is for personal use only, and therefore users must be logged in to listen to full songs. There is no way around this.

I hope this answers your question.

Cheers,
