Hello Spotify Developer Community,

I am Luis from Catarse 'www.catarse.me', a crowdfunding and membership platform hosting numerous podcasts and musicians. We aim to become an approved partner for the Spotify Open Access API to enhance the experience for podcast creators and listeners on our platform.

We kindly request guidance on the partnership requirements and process. Any advice from community members with experience in Spotify Open Access API partnerships or relevant contacts at Spotify would be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello Spotify Developer Community,

I am a podcast producer for Ben Greenfield. We are creating a new paid membership for new shows from Ben. We would love for our members to be able to listen to these new shows on Spotify. How should I begin the process of applying for and hopefully becoming approved for Spotify Open Access API?

If anyone has been through this process and has any guidance, that would be helpful and appreciated. I seem to be going in circles on google. The Google AI responses to these questions have been a bit misleading.

Thank you!

We created our own podcast hosting sight so I'm trying to get our podcast on Spotify through our own platform vs one of the existing partners.

- Partnership approval requirements
- Application process and timeline
- Required documentation

- Integration requirements
- Next steps in the partnership process

We look forward to learning more about becoming a Spotify Open Access partner.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,

I'm following up on this thread because I've been trying to reach the Spotify team regarding Open Access integration for our premium audio content at Haaretz, a major news publisher. I sent an email to "spotifyforpartners", but it appears to redirect to general customer support and I haven’t been able to connect with the right team.

We’re very interested in becoming an Open Access partner. We already produce multiple podcasts (available on Spotify), and we want to offer our subscribers a seamless experience through Spotify.

Could someone from the Spotify Developer Relations or Partnerships team please get in touch or advise on the correct point of contact?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Barak
Product Manager, Haaretz

Hi Spotify team,

I'm Yossi Gijrath, founder of dekamer.app, a Dutch membership platform and app for podcast creators. We'd like to become a Spotify Open Access partner.

Creators get their own branded environment where listeners subscribe to premium content, and our app is where the community lives. But we want to give listeners and creators the Spotify experience too: premium episodes unlocked right where people already listen. That's exactly what Open Access is for.

Payments run on Mollie (iDEAL/SEPA), premium distribution via private RSS, and our integration is designed to spec, tier-level entitlements, JWS-signed calls, SSL entrypoint for account linking. Client ID is ready.

Who's the right person to talk to about allow-listing, a Partner ID and sandbox access?

Best,
Yossi Gijrath
