Requesting Access to /v1/recommendations Endpoint for Moodify Android App

[danielPogchamp]

Hi Spotify Dev Team 👋,

I’m currently developing an Android app called Moodify, which generates personalized playlists based on the user’s mood (for example, happy, sad, energetic, etc.). The app authenticates via Spotify OAuth and creates private playlists using the Web API.

I’d love to enhance the experience by using the /v1/recommendations endpoint to generate more accurate and musically coherent playlists based on target valence, energy, and genre.

However, whenever I call the endpoint (using a valid user access token), I get a 404 response. From what I understand, this may mean that the endpoint requires additional access approval.

Could someone from the Spotify team please grant access or guide me on the proper way to request it?

Details:

• App Name: Moodify

• Client ID: abb6f8c62e2f42c883c04b2c7c1083d1

• Redirect URI: danieljansen.finalprojectdemo://callback

• Use Case: Educational / non-commercial mood-based playlist generator

Thanks so much for maintaining such a great developer platform — and for all your support to indie and student developers like me 🙏

Best regards,
Daniel Jansen
