My Question or Issue

Dear Spotify Support Team,

I am writing to seek permission to use Spotify's data for a non-commercial academic project related to song hit prediction, as part of my Master's thesis. Understanding Spotify's policy on machine learning applications, I assure you this project is solely for academic purposes and will not be published or used commercially.

I am interested in audio features of hit songs, which are crucial for my research. The data will be handled in strict compliance with data protection laws and university guidelines.

I am willing to provide any necessary documentation or agreements to adhere to Spotify's guidelines and ensure the privacy and integrity of the data.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your response.

The developer policy is there for a reason: to prevent abuse. Also, using the API for a school project is prohibited.
