Get Playlist data without logging in

fxhassan — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 03:54:37 GMT

Hi,

I want to create a backend API that takes in a link to a public Spotify playlist (https://open.spotify.com/playlist...) and returns the data for the songs ( title, artist, picture, etc.)

I want to make it so that the user doesn't have to log in to their Spotify account (since it's public). All they do is share a link to the playlist.

Is this possible to implement with the current API? If so, how might I go about doing it?

Hey @fxhassan, thanks for posting on the Spotify for Developers board!

There's an Authorization Flow: Client Credentials which should do just that! There's some more information on this page: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/authorization-guide/#client-credentials-flow. Let me know if you have any questions.

Happy coding!
