## FAQ

### Which Spotify artist stats do I get?

Monthly listeners, followers, world rank, popularity, verified flag, top cities, top 10 tracks with play counts, latest release, album and single counts and related artists.

### Can I see stats for any artist, not just my own?

Yes. Spotify for Artists only shows your own music. This reads the public profile of any artist, so you can check competitors, prospects or a whole roster.

### Where do an artist's listeners live?

topCities lists the top cities by monthly listeners, with city, region, country and listener count, as shown on the artist's Spotify profile.

### What is the Spotify world rank?

The artist's position among all artists by monthly listeners, as Spotify shows it. It is set only for artists in Spotify's global ranking.

### Does it include play counts of the artist's songs?

Yes, the exact play counts of the 10 top tracks. Turn on Artist discography to list every release, then add album links to get every track's play count.

### Can I track an artist's stats over time?

Yes. Turn on Compare with previous run and schedule the task. Each row adds monthlyListenersChange, followersChange and worldRankChange since the last run.

### Can I check hundreds of artists at once?

Yes. Paste artist links one per line. Each artist is one row; up to 10 are read at the same time.

### Do I need a Spotify login or API key?

No. The official Spotify API has no monthly listeners or play counts anyway. This reads public profile data without an account.

### How much does it cost?

$0.004 per artist, top tracks and related artists included. 200 artists cost $0.80 per run, with no start fee.

### How do I find similar artists?

Each row has relatedArtists, the 20 artists Spotify lists as similar, with their IDs and names. Feed them back in to grow a watchlist.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Spotify Scraper: Artists, Tracks, Playlists, Podcasts](https://apify.com/epicscrapers/spotify-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/epicscrapers/spotify-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
