encoding/format of audio stream

CB00 — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 20:11:53 GMT

Hi, I'm working on a React Native app for iOS and Android which interfaces to Spotify's API, and would like to make an animated logo which moves according to certain frequencies of the audio being streamed (e.g. a low-pass filter). I've got a library for the animation portion, now just need to determine what the specific encoding of the audio stream is, in order to 'map' it.

Sorry if I'm overlooking a clearly-marked specification of this detail in the docs, but I'm new to it.

You do not have access to the actual audio stream, you can only instruct the spotify client to play it for you.

There is a function to retrieve analysis of a track, which might be of use: https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-audio-analysis-track/?id=06AKEBrKUckW0KREUWRnvT
