Request to Enable Access to Audio Features and Audio Analysis Endpoints for New Spotify App

Request to Enable Access to Audio Features and Audio Analysis Endpoints for New Spotify App

Hello Spotify Support Team,

I’m developing a non-commercial educational project called MyMusicMind that analyzes user listening behavior and provides insights and recommendations. This project relies on the Spotify API for accessing detailed music data.

I registered my Spotify app in May 2025. I’m using the Client Credentials Flow with Spotipy, and although the credentials are correct, I receive a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access the /v1/audio-features endpoint.

I understand that apps created after November 27, 2024 fall under updated access restrictions and do not have default access to the /v1/audio-features and /v1/audio-analysis endpoints. Since these endpoints are essential for my project’s functionality, I kindly request that access to them be enabled for my app.

Client ID: af452236f61540d19b462b8436512213

Thank you very much for your assistance!

Best regards,
Latko Artem

Hello, I am a student from a university and I am also planning to apply audio vocal feature data to my master's thesis. However, I found that this feature has been disabled. Have you been granted permission to request it by the authorities? If you reply, I would greatly appreciate it

Hello Spotify Developer Support,

I am developing a personal non-commercial music recommendation system as part of my educational project. This system aims to analyze audio features of tracks to provide better music suggestions based on detailed song attributes such as danceability, loudness, energy, and tempo.

I have registered my Spotify application recently and I am currently using the Client Credentials Flow with the Spotipy library. However, I am facing a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access the /v1/audio-features endpoint.

I understand that apps created after November 27, 2024 require special access approval for these endpoints. Since the audio features endpoint is crucial for the core functionality of my recommendation system, I kindly request that access to the /v1/audio-features and /v1/audio-analysis endpoints be enabled for my app.

Thank you very much for considering my request. I assure you the data will be used responsibly for educational and personal purposes following Spotify’s terms of service.

Best regards,
