Spotify Playlist Track Extractor

Turn any Spotify playlist into a complete, structured dataset — one clean row per track. Get artists, album, duration, play count, the date each track was added, and the industry ISRC code. Handles playlists of any size with automatic pagination and checkpoint resume. No API key, no login.

Not affiliated with Spotify. Reads public playlist data from Spotify's own web and mobile backends for research, analytics and interoperability.

Who it's for

• Playlist curators & pluggers — audit tracklists, spot placements, and export playlists for pitching.
• Labels, distributors & rights teams — capture ISRC codes per track for royalty matching and catalog reconciliation.
• A&R, marketers & analysts — analyze what's on editorial and competitor playlists, with play counts and added-dates.
• Researchers & data teams — build track-level datasets from any set of playlists as clean JSON.

FAQ

Do I need a Spotify API key or account? No. It reads public playlist data anonymously.

How big a playlist can it handle? Any size — it paginates through the whole playlist and checkpoints progress, so interrupted runs resume without duplicating rows. Use maxTracksPerPlaylist / maxItems to cap output.

What is ISRC? The International Standard Recording Code — a unique identifier for a recording, used across the music industry for royalties and catalog matching.

Why is ISRC enrichment optional? It adds one extra request per track. Turn it off (includeISRC: false) for the fastest, cheapest runs on very large playlists.

Is a proxy required? No. Spotify's endpoints have no anti-bot here; a proxy is optional for a specific egress region.

Is this legal / allowed? You are responsible for your use. This accesses publicly available data; review Spotify's terms and your local laws, and prefer the official Spotify API where it fits.
