🎧 Spotify Scraper — Artists, Tracks, Albums & Playlists

Search Spotify by keyword or scrape artist, album, track, and playlist URLs to get monthly listeners, play counts, followers, world rank, biographies, top tracks, related artists, and full track listings — in JSON, CSV, or Excel. No Spotify login or API key needed.

🤔 What does it do?

Spotify Scraper extracts rich, structured metadata from Spotify. It works in two modes:

• 🔗 URL mode — paste Spotify links (artists, albums, tracks, playlists) and get detailed data for each.
• 🔍 Search mode — search by keyword and get matching tracks, artists, albums, or playlists.

📦 What data you get

Entity	Highlights
🎤 Artists	Monthly listeners, followers, world rank, biography, image, top tracks (with play counts), related artists, external links (Instagram, Facebook, etc.)
💿 Albums	Cover art, release date, label, full track listing with per-track play counts
🎵 Tracks	Artists, album, duration, release date, play count, explicit flag, audio preview URL
📋 Playlists	Owner, description, followers, cover image, full track listing with durations & play counts

⭐ Why Choose Us?

• 🆓 No API key — works entirely from public Spotify data.
• 🧩 Rich nested output — artists ship with their top tracks & related artists; playlists ship with their full track listing.

This Actor uses a pay-per-event model. You are charged per result item delivered to the dataset, plus the standard Apify platform usage. Set Max results to control spend.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Spotify account or API key? No. All data comes from public Spotify pages.

Why is genres empty for some artists? Spotify stopped exposing genres for many artists; the Actor fills it when available and leaves [] otherwise.

Why is audioPreviewUrl null? Many tracks simply have no 30-second preview on Spotify.

Will it get blocked? The Actor starts direct and automatically escalates to datacenter then residential proxies if Spotify pushes back.

⚖️ Legal & Compliance
