🐍 How to scrape Spotify monthly listeners with Python, JavaScript or the API

Run the actor programmatically with the official Apify clients. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> with the token from your Apify Console.

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

run = client.actor("<username>/spotify-monthly-listeners-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": [{"url": "https://open.spotify.com/artist/2pvfGvbL4mouaDY9ZSwUmv"}],
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["artist_name"], item["monthlyListeners"])

JavaScript (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });

const run = await client.actor('<username>/spotify-monthly-listeners-scraper').call({
    startUrls: [{ url: 'https://open.spotify.com/artist/2pvfGvbL4mouaDY9ZSwUmv' }],
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

cURL — start a run and wait for the dataset:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/<username>~spotify-monthly-listeners-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"startUrls": [{"url": "https://open.spotify.com/artist/2pvfGvbL4mouaDY9ZSwUmv"}]}'

💡 What you can use Spotify artist data for

• Tracking an artist's monthly listener growth over time
• Comparing follower counts and popularity across a roster of artists
• Monitoring new releases and upcoming tour dates
• Building fan, label and A&R dashboards with top track and discography data
• Researching related artists and playlist placements for marketing and playlist pitching

Typical users are record labels, music managers, booking agents, playlist curators, music journalists and market researchers in the music and entertainment industry.

⚠️ Limitations & known issues

• Public artist pages only — only publicly visible artist data is scraped; content behind a Spotify login is not available.
• Artist URLs only — track, album, playlist and user URLs are not supported.
• Possible IP blocking — Spotify may block some IP ranges, especially datacenter ones. If runs fail with an access token error, enable the proxy configuration.
• Snapshot data — monthly listeners are a point-in-time number. Schedule runs to build a history.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Can I scrape Spotify legally?

The actor only collects data that is already publicly visible on open.spotify.com — no login, paywall, or private content is accessed. Scraping publicly available data is generally considered lawful (see hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn), but you are responsible for complying with Spotify's Terms of Service and applicable laws such as GDPR and CCPA.

How do I get an artist's monthly listeners from Spotify?

Paste the artist's Spotify URL into the actor and run it. The monthlyListeners field in each result holds the current number, alongside followers and top cities.

How many artists can I scrape in one run?

There is no fixed cap: you get one result for every artist URL you provide. Add as many URLs as you need.

Do I need a proxy to scrape Spotify?

No, it works without a proxy by default. If Spotify blocks your IP, turn on the Proxy configuration field and choose Apify residential or datacenter proxies.

How do I scrape Spotify artist data with Python?

Use the Apify client shown above: call the actor with a list of artist URLs and iterate over the dataset items.

Can I track monthly listeners over time with a schedule?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run the actor daily or weekly with the same artist URLs, then compare the monthlyListeners and timestamp fields across runs.

What output formats are supported?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and RSS, either from the Output tab or through the Apify API.
