Request for Access to Audio Features and Audio Analysis Endpoints

wesl_619 — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 19:49:07 GMT

Hello Spotify Developer Support,

I am developing a personal, non-commercial music-reactive lighting system using the Spotify Web API.

For fun basically.

The system uses Spotify playback data to synchronize LED lighting effects with music in real-time. To accurately detect beats, sections, tempo, and energy, I require access to the following endpoints:

/v1/audio-features
/v1/audio-analysis

Currently, my application is in Development Mode and returns HTTP 403 for these endpoints.

This project:

Is for personal use only
Does not store or redistribute Spotify audio
Does not resell data
Only uses metadata for synchronized lighting visualization

I would appreciate it if you could enable access for my account to these endpoints for my application. I will share the details of my account in the further steps if you want.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,
Sahil Singh
