topic Re: GOAT.com in Spotify for Developers https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/GOAT-com/m-p/6672223#M16725 <P>Hi <a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/26692664">@eddy2rok</a>!&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community, and Welcome!</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Your project sounds fantastic, but it’s worth noting that Spotify has deprecated artist genres and audio features. This means you can’t directly fetch genre-based data or features like energy and acousticness unless you had a quota extension before November 27, 2024. You can read more about these changes <A href="https://developer.spotify.com/blog/2024-11-27-changes-to-the-web-api" target="_blank" rel="noopener">at this page</A>.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Also, Spotify doesn't allow you to mix content from other services. Given these limitations, I recommend going the full Last.fm route. Their API provides rich music data and is a great alternative for building your app. You can fetch top albums or artists by genre using endpoints like `tag.getTopAlbums` or `tag.getTopArtists`, which fits perfectly for your genre selection page and album-ranking game. Later, you could even integrate user-focused features like personal recommendations or recent scrobbles to tailor playlists and results.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Last.fm doesn’t handle streaming, but it gives you everything you need for displaying album info, covers, and rankings. Plus, it’s free for non-commercial use. You can explore the API by <A href="https://www.last.fm/api" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clicking here</A>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>This approach avoids Spotify’s restrictions while still delivering a seamless and engaging experience. Best of luck with your project!</P> Fri, 24 Jan 2025 16:42:53 GMT Ximzend 2025-01-24T16:42:53Z GOAT.com https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/GOAT-com/m-p/6668529#M16710 <P>So, I made this album ranking page as a school project, and quite a few people enjoyed it so I think I'll expand this idea using Spotify's API. I am a near beginner coder, but I was just curious if the idea would work.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><OL><LI>The first page will be a genre selection page, it shows a number of genres, right now, I only have 8, but possible to expand.</LI><LI>When the user selects a genre, fetch the 50 most streamed albums from the genre in Spotify and the user starts ranking the albums side by side. Two albums appear at a time, and it's a winner stays on type game.</LI><LI>After the selections, there will be an ending page that shows the album that the user picked. This is as far as I have thought of</LI><LI>Possible later expansions include the functionality to generate a playlist tailored to the user's taste based off of datasets like key, acousticness, energy, bpm etc and add it to the user's account.&nbsp;</LI></OL><P>Page 1.
