Web Api

[fahadsaleem020]

Can i integrate other streaming services such as tidal, apple music, etc alongside in my web app by the name "beatfeedback"? or is there any kind of restrictions that i don't know of?

In the Spotify Developer Policy you can read: "5. Do not create any product or service which is integrated with streams or content from another service."

Ximzend do you possibly have an email or social media in which I can reach out to you I'm doing a project and I can't make api request anymore and It makes no sense like they were working then they stopped?

Hi @JussstJaden 

Spotify made changes to its API, as you can read here.

Yet you'll find lots of apps that just allow you to, say check a particular track on several platforms.
The url from that track on say Apple music or Tidal is necessarily coming from the platform's api.

So is it a grey area, or were those apps extended by Spotify before that rule, or did they add those functionalities after being extended ?

I also don't see how it would make sense to forbid those types of functionalities which are both good for the developper, the user and the platform.

Hi @bazingatorade

Applications with existing extended mode Web API access that were relying on these endpoints remain unaffected by this change. Also apps that had a pending request before the change are also not affected.

I hope this answers your question.
