Is there a way to play a song or playlist using the web api or sdk?

Hi,

As stated in the subject, is there a way I can play a specific song or set of songs in a playlist via the Web API or Web SDK?  I've far as I've found, the closest I can get to playing a song or playlist is via adding to queue or skipping to the next track or skipping to the previous track.  

Thanks,

Hey there, help's here!

You can use the Start/Resume a User's Playback-endpoint to play something specific on the currently active device (or other device, if specified). You can play a song from a user's webbrowser with the Web Playback SDK. Let me know if you have any questions about these!

 

Happy coding,
