Spotify Play Count Scraper: Playlists, Albums, Artists & Tracks

Get all-time Spotify play counts for every track of a playlist or album in one go, for $2 per 1,000 tracks. Paste a playlist, album, artist or track link and get clean rows: play count, artists, duration, position, the date a track was added to the playlist, and the playlist's saves. Artists come with monthly listeners, followers, world rank, top cities and top tracks. No login, no Spotify API key: Spotify's official API does not return play counts at all.

Input	Rows
Playlist link	One row per track, with its play count, position, date added and the playlist's saves
Album link	One row per track, with its play count, release date and label
Artist link	One row: monthly listeners, followers, world rank, 5 top cities, 10 top tracks with play counts, 20 related artists
Track link	One row: play count, album, label, release date
Search keyword	Tracks, artists, albums, playlists or podcasts matching it (no play counts)

Why Use This Scraper?

• Play counts the official API does not give. Spotify's Web API returns popularity scores, not stream numbers. This actor returns the real all-time counts shown in the Spotify app.
• A whole playlist or album per lookup. 50 tracks with play counts come back in one go, so you pay per track, not per request.
• Half the usual price. $0.002 per track with play counts; other Spotify play-count actors charge $0.004 to $0.005.
• Artist audience in one row. Monthly listeners, followers, world rank and the five cities that listen most, with listener counts.

Use Cases

• Music marketing and A&R: track how a release or a playlist placement grows plays.
• Playlist pitching and curation: compare the tracks on editorial playlists by streams and by the date they were added.
• Royalty and catalog estimates: play counts for every track of an album or a label's releases.
• Artist benchmarking: monthly listeners, world rank and top cities across a roster.
• Podcast discovery: find shows by topic with their episode counts.

How It Works

1. Links are read four at a time. A playlist, album, artist or track lookup takes about 40 seconds.
2. Playlist and album lookups return every track with its play count; each track becomes a row.
3. Search keywords run after the links.
4. Every row is charged as it is delivered, and the run stops cleanly at your spending limit.

FAQ

Do search results include play counts? No. Spotify search answers names and links only. Put the playlist, album, artist or track link in urls to get play counts.

How long can a playlist be? Playlists of up to about 100 tracks come back in under a minute. Much longer ones can take several minutes. A lookup that has not answered after 4 minutes is asked once more, and skipped (not charged) if the second try does not answer either.

Why does a track sometimes have no play count? Spotify occasionally answers a single track without it. That row is billed at the basic track price ($0.002) instead of the track-lookup price. Looking up the track's album gets every play count reliably.

Do I need a Spotify account or API key? No.

Can I download the audio? No. This actor returns data, not music files.
