[Connect] Publish the Spotify Connect API

Submitted by on ‎2013-09-03 12:25 PM
Status: Implemented

Spotify should publish the required documentation for implementing Spotify Connect on internet-enabled receivers / speakers. 

Updated on 2019-04-09

Hey folks, 

 

Thanks for adding your vote to this idea. 

 

Use of the Spotify Connect Web API is now in beta. You can check out the details here.

 

You can also find out a lot more about devloping with Spotify at the Spotify for Developers website.

 

Thanks!

I too would like to see  XBMC/Kodi intergration! Been using a Gramafon instead to play through my setup but would love some visuals at the same time.

If I could stream Spotify to Kodi, either through a plugin or through Spotify Connect and my smartphone I'd purchase a Spotify premium account. Until then I have no way to play Spotify on my media center/stereo so the credit card stays in my wallet...

Come on Spotify! Give our TV's some love! You recently - and sadly - decided to drop Android TV development. But with opening up the Connect API you will really give our media player boxes a LOT of love and possibilities!

@dlo2 I don't know what kind of phone you have but if you have an iPhone or android phone you can airplay spotify to Kodi. (For android you need some app, sorry but don't know the name)

It is really disappointing that this hasn't been implemented yet.  I have just spent quite some time setting up a Raspberry Pi with MusicBox for this purpose and then to find that Spotify Connect doesn't work is hugely frustrating.  Come on Spotify - please sort it out!

This is literally the last and only thing Spotify can do to prevent me from leaving after being a Premium member since day 0, that is nearly 7 years!

Why spotify dosent do this i really can't understand. Providing good integration into other services for other developers can't be other than good for the business and the users!?!?!?!

I am using Spotify on my Linux PCs, my MAC and Android Tablet and Android Phone. I also have 3 XBMC/KODI Installations that really are awesome, but would be incredibly more awesomer with SPOTIFY connect. Please open the API !

Has anyone just tried reverse engineering it from the Android app using jadx?

I've looked at it, and it is mostly obfuscated, but there may be enough in there to reverse engineer some basic controls.

 

The "com.spotify.mobile.android.util.SpotifyLink" class, as well as this part in "com.spotify.music.MainActivity", looks important:

 

        r8 = new android.os.Bundle;
        r8.<init>();
        r10 = "track_uri";
        r8.putString(r10, r0);
        r0 = "autoplay";
        r8.putBoolean(r0, r7);
        r0 = new doo;
        r0.<init>();
        defpackage.dop.a(r4, r8, r0);
        r4 = r0.n_();
        defpackage.ezj.a(r4, r9);
        defpackage.chm.a(r13);
        r4 = "artist_uri";
        r4 = r13.hasExtra(r4);
        if (r4 == 0) goto L_0x0817;
