# An artist's full discography play counts

**Use case:** 

Scrapes a Spotify artist URL and expands into every studio album and single/EP in the discography, returning per-release and per-track exact play counts, release dates, labels and popularity. Each followed release is its own output row. Toggle `followAlbums` / `followSingles`, or add more artist URLs.

## Input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://open.spotify.com/artist/7Ln80lUS6He07XvHI8qqHH"

  "followSingles": true,
  "followPopularReleases": false,
  "scrapePreviewUrls": false,

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Spotify Play Count Scraper & API](https://apify.com/parsebird/spotify-play-count-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/parsebird/spotify-play-count-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`).
