My Question or Issue

How do I get sound from the API? I can't find the path to the sound. I am using Node.js

spotifyApi.getTrack("7dK87kjEyN7nMoxF57AT9R").then(function(data) {
    console.log(data.body);
}, function(err) {
    console.error(err);
});

Hey @AlexInCube,

Good question! You can use the preview_url to hear a 30 second snippet from a song (as preview). To stream full tracks, you can use the Web Playback SDK (or remote control the iOS/Android app with their respective SDKs).

Check out this for more information: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-playback-sdk/quick-start/

Give me a shout if you have any questions!

Happy coding,
Hubo
