Who Me Too'd this topic

Hi Spotify Dev Team,

I’m Stefan, a developer building a non-commercial rhythm-based rowing game app called RowBeats, which dynamically syncs rowing strokes to music. The app creates a unique experience by aligning stroke timing and effort to musical tempo in real time — something only possible with accurate and timely access to tempo and related audio features.

I understand there have been recent changes to the Web API that restrict new apps from accessing endpoints like /audio-features, which my app depends on for core functionality.

My app is:
• Non-commercial (currently in development).
• Designed to work exclusively within Spotify’s ecosystem.
• Built to encourage engagement with Spotify Premium through integrated playback.

I’m reaching out to request continued access to /audio-features/{id} or any available method to programmatically retrieve the tempo (BPM) of the currently playing track. I’m happy to comply with any terms, scopes, or data usage limitations necessary to make this possible.

If there’s a path forward — via formal request, verification, or additional review — I’d be grateful for guidance.

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Stefan
