How much does it cost?

$2 per 1,000 results (pay per event), with platform usage and proxies included and no start fee.

• A result is one row: an artist, track, album, playlist, podcast, episode or user profile, with all its data.
• Albums, playlists and podcasts include up to 100 tracks or episodes per result. A 250-track playlist with all tracks listed counts as 3 results.
• Links that aren't found, and search results removed by the playlist filters, are free.

Example	Results	Cost
100 artists, daily	100 a day	$0.20 a day
1,000 ISRCs	1,000	$2.00
300 playlists for one keyword, without track lists	300	$0.60
One 1,000-track playlist with every track	10	$0.02

Set Maximum cost per run in the run options to cap a run; it stops cleanly at the limit.

Tips

• Short on time? Turn off Open every search result for a fast list of names and links, then scrape the ones you need.
• Only need playlist metadata? Set Max tracks or episodes per result to 0.
• Many links? Put them all in one run: up to 10 are read at once.
• Not-found links are listed in the log and in the run's OUTPUT record (Storage → Key-value store) with the reason.
• Want one row per track with play counts for whole discographies? Use Spotify Play Count Scraper.

Limitations

• Lyrics, audio features (tempo, key, danceability) and genres aren't public without a Spotify login, so they aren't included.
• Spotify returns about 200 results per search query. For more, the Actor adds related queries (e.g. "lofi playlist", "best lofi", "lofi 2026"), so later results can drift from the exact keyword.
• lastTrackAddedAt and firstTrackAddedAt come from the listed tracks and the playlist's last 100 tracks.
• Search results depend on the country of the proxy IP, like on Spotify.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Spotify? The Actor reads only public data that Spotify shows to every visitor without logging in. Personal data (names, emails in playlist descriptions) is subject to GDPR and similar laws; only use it with a legitimate reason.

How fresh is the data? Every run reads Spotify live, so you get the numbers Spotify shows at that moment.

Can I use it from code or an AI agent? Yes, through the Apify API, the JavaScript and Python clients, or the Apify MCP server.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("epicscrapers/spotify-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": ["https://open.spotify.com/artist/3TVXtAsR1Inumwj472S9r4", "USUG11904206"],
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["type"], item["name"], item.get("playCount") or item.get("monthlyListeners"))
