# Spotify Song Credits Lookup: Songwriters & Producers

**Use case:** 

Look up the songwriters, producers and full credits of any Spotify song from its link or ISRC. Each row has every credited person with their role, plus the track's ISRC, label, release date and exact play count. Check whole albums or catalogs at once to verify publishing registrations, find co-writers or research who wrote and produced the hits in your genre. Export to CSV or Excel.

## FAQ

### How do I see who wrote a song on Spotify?

Paste the song link and run the task with Track credits on. songwriters lists the writers and credits lists every person with their role.

## 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. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/epicscrapers/spotify-scraper.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## 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`).
