Track amount of all-time plays endpoint for web API

Track amount of all-time plays endpoint for web API

Hi there

 

I'm wondering why the amount of all-time plays for a track, has not been included as an endpoint in the web API? It has been public within the desktop and mobile apps for as long as I can remember, so why not for developers?

 

I looked under the "track object (full)" and also under "artist top tracks" endpoint references, but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place?

 

All the best,

Tobias

This is probably a duplicate of https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/Songs-Play-count/m-p/4992536

 

Anyway, this had hundreds of upvotes in the archived web-api Github repo:

Found this API that returns the streams / plays count for any track:
