Inquiry About Integrating NFC Technology for Song Queueing with Spotify's API

Inquiry About Integrating NFC Technology for Song Queueing with Spotify's API

I’m working on a project to create an independent speaker that integrates with Spotify. The idea is to enable users to queue songs by tapping their phones against the speaker, using NFC or a similar technology. Users would select a song on their Spotify app, tap the speaker with their phone, and the song would then be added to the queue on the device's Spotify player.

We're seeking guidance on:

 

  • Whether Spotify's API supports NFC integration for song queuing.
  • The guidelines and permissions needed for this type of functionality.

 

Any advice or pointers to documentation would be greatly appreciated, as we aim to create a seamless and intuitive user experience.

Spotify's API does not directly support NFC integration for song queuing. While you can use their API to control playback, manage playlists, and access user data, NFC-specific functionality is not built-in. However, you might be able to achieve this through a combination of Spotify's API and custom NFC reader software

 

You'll need to develop a system that can detect NFC taps, extract relevant data from the tapped device (like the selected song's ID), and send that information to your speaker's Spotify player using the API. Be sure to adhere to Spotify's API terms of service and guidelines to ensure your project complies with their regulations.
