How to scrape Spotify: step by step

1. Create a free Apify account. Takes 30 seconds, no card needed.
2. Open Spotify Scraper in the Apify Console.
3. Paste Spotify URLs, spotify: URIs, or bare IDs. Or pick search mode and type a keyword. Country links like intl-ko/ work too (see all).
4. Click Start. Single entities finish in seconds; big batches in minutes.
5. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or fetch results via the API. What each row looks like: sample output per mode.

Why this scraper?

Click a mode to jump to its input and an output example.

• 🎯 Exact play counts on every track, down to the single play: the number people actually search for.
• 📊 Monthly listeners and top 5 cities on every artist record, plus world rank for artists inside Spotify's global ranking (roughly the top 500): fields the official API doesn't expose.
• 🧰 One actor, six modes (artist, track, album, playlist, search, playlist discovery) instead of stitching 3 to 6 separate scrapers together.
• 🔎 Find playlists by keyword, filtered by saves. Up to about 1,000 playlists per keyword, each with its save count and owner, so you can pitch to curators instead of guessing.
• 🔑 No app registration, no OAuth, no API keys. Paste a URL and click Start.
• ⚡ No browser. A single artist finishes in 2 to 5 seconds; a batch of 500 artists takes about 15 minutes.
• 🛡️ Built-in fallback keeps runs alive when Spotify hiccups, so batches don't die midway.
• 💸 Bad input costs $0. Deleted artists, private playlists, and typo'd URLs log a warning and are never billed.
• 🌍 Every market, every script. Hangul, Kanji, Cyrillic, Arabic, Devanagari returned untouched.

Spotify Scraper vs. the official Web API

Concern	Spotify Web API	Other Spotify actors	This actor
App registration	Required, manual approval for extended quota	Not needed	Not needed
Per-track play count	❌ Not exposed	Partial (play-count-only actors)	✅ Every track
Monthly listeners, world rank, top cities	❌ Not available	❌ Mostly not available	✅ All three
popularity, genres	Deprecated Feb 2026 (returns stale data)	Some still return dead fields	Skipped on purpose
Audio features (tempo, key, danceability)	Locked to pre-Nov-2024 grandfathered apps	Rarely available, and pricier when offered	Not included (honestly unavailable)
Number of actors to install	N/A	Often split into 3 to 6 separate scrapers	One actor, six modes
Per-run start fee	N/A	$5 on many competitors	$0
Price per 1,000 results	Free (but rate-limited)	$3 to $5	$2.79 on Starter
Locale URLs (intl-ko, intl-ja, etc.)	N/A	Often break	Handled

The short version: if you want play counts, followers, world rank, and top cities in one actor without juggling app keys or stitching six scrapers together, this is built for that. What it does not return: Limitations.

🔎 Playlist discovery mode

Give it keywords, get back one row per playlist with its save count and owner. Built for artists and labels looking for playlists to pitch to.

• Each keyword is searched up to about 1,000 playlists deep. Different keywords mostly find different playlists, so a list of keywords is how you scale.
• Minimum saves: only playlists with at least this many saves are returned, and only those are charged.
• Skip these playlists: paste the spotifyId column from earlier runs and those playlists are never returned or charged again. Repeats across keywords in the same run are removed automatically.
• Spotify-owned or not: every row says whether Spotify itself runs the playlist (its editorial, algorithmic, genre and chart accounts). Tick "Skip Spotify-owned playlists" to keep only playlists run by people and brands.
• Owner and contact hints: owner name, username and profile link. When the curator wrote an email, an Instagram/TikTok handle, or a link (a submission form such as SubmitHub or sbmt.to, a website, Linktree) in the description, it is pulled into contactEmails, contactHandles and contactLinks. Spotify does not publish curator emails, so most rows have none: in our 70-keyword indie test about 1 in 9 rows had at least one.
• Search countries (optional): Spotify shows a different mix of playlists in each country, so you can repeat every keyword as if searching from up to 10 countries (US, UK, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Germany and more). A playlist found in several countries comes back once, is charged once, and searchCountries lists every country that found it. Your "Skip these playlists" list applies to all of them.
• Search languages (optional): repeats each keyword in other Spotify languages. This adds far fewer playlists than countries do: in our tests each language added about 5% new playlists, against 25 to 50% for each country.

🔎 Playlist discovery: settings

Setting	Default	What it does
Mode mode	required	Set to playlistDiscovery.
Search terms searchTerms	[]	Keywords to search. If empty, searchTerm is used.
Minimum saves minSaves	0	Only return (and charge for) playlists with at least this many saves.
Skip Spotify-owned playlists excludeSpotifyOwned	false	Leave out playlists Spotify itself runs.
Skip these playlists excludePlaylistIds	[]	Playlist URLs or IDs to skip.
Search countries searchCountries	[]	Optional country codes (US, GB, MX, ...), up to 10, to repeat each keyword from. Empty searches once from the United States.
Search languages searchLanguages	[]	Optional language codes (en, de, ja, ...) to repeat each keyword in.
Max results maxResults	50	0 means unlimited.

🔎 Playlist discovery: example input

{
  "mode": "playlistDiscovery",
  "searchTerms": ["indie rock", "bedroom pop", "shoegaze", "chill indie"],
  "minSaves": 200,
  "excludeSpotifyOwned": true,
  "maxResults": 0
}

What to expect: in our tests, 30 keywords across many genres returned 12,395 playlists with 200+ saves in 20 minutes (about 400 per keyword). Within one genre, keywords overlap: 70 indie rock keywords returned 9,883 playlists in 34 minutes (about 140 per keyword), and near-duplicate keywords such as "indie rock uk" added almost nothing. Varied keywords (sub-genres, moods, eras, scenes) find the most new playlists. Results for the same keyword are stable when you repeat a search, so use new keywords to find new playlists. Always set a minimum saves value: a vague or misspelled keyword still returns loosely related playlists, and with a minimum of 0 you pay for all of them.

Countries roughly double what the same keywords find. 10 indie keywords with 45,000+ saves found 89 playlists from the US alone and 171 across 8 countries (about 18 minutes). 5 keywords with 1,000+ saves went from 1,052 to 2,245.

Every one of these returns monthly listeners, followers, top 5 cities, biography, top 10 tracks with play counts, related artists, and discography counts. World rank is filled only for artists inside Spotify's global ranking (roughly the top 500) and is null for the rest.

Limitations

• No popularity, genres, or audio features. Spotify deprecated popularity and genres in Feb 2026, and audio features (tempo, key, danceability) are locked to legacy developer apps. Any scraper still returning these hands you stale or fake numbers. I'd rather ship nothing than fake it.
• No ISRC or UPC yet. Both require a registered Spotify developer app. An opt-in enrichment flag is planned; follow the Issues tab for the ship date.
• Playlists return up to 500 tracks each, paginated automatically.
• Album track listings cap at 1,000 tracks, paginated automatically.
• Year-only release dates. Spotify only knows the year for some older releases; releaseDate then reads as January 1 of that year and releaseDatePrecision is YEAR (otherwise MONTH or DAY). Check it before trusting the day.
• Playlist tracks have no album release date (album.releaseDate is null): Spotify does not include it in playlist data.
• Search returns up to 50 items per category (tracks, artists, albums, playlists) per query. Search results carry no play counts. For more playlists, use playlist discovery mode.
• Playlist discovery reaches about 1,000 playlists per keyword (Spotify's own search limit), usually 900 to 990 after removing repeats. Use more keywords or more search countries for more playlists.
• Each search country adds run time. 10 keywords across 8 countries took about 18 minutes. Raise the run timeout for long keyword lists.
• No curator emails from Spotify. Contact details appear only when the curator wrote them in the playlist description.
• Public data only. The actor sees what a logged-out visitor sees: no private playlists, no user listening history.

Frequently asked questions

Is it legal to scrape Spotify?

Scraping public data is generally allowed in the US and most of the EU, as long as you don't collect personal data that falls under GDPR or CCPA without a lawful basis. This actor only touches publicly accessible Spotify pages: the same pages a logged-out visitor sees in a browser. You're responsible for how you use the output. Apify has a detailed breakdown: Is web scraping legal?.

How does it compare to Spotify's official Web API?

The official Web API requires you to register a developer app, manage OAuth, handle rate limits, and live with deprecations. It also doesn't expose per-track play counts, monthly listeners, world rank, or top cities. This actor gives you those fields with zero setup (full comparison). The tradeoff: no ISRC, UPC, or audio features, which live behind the official API.

What happens on bad URLs, deleted artists, or private playlists?

The run succeeds with zero results for that specific URL plus a warning line in the log. You're billed $0 for failed lookups. No run-level failures on input mistakes. And if the run hits its maximum cost limit, it stops cleanly and keeps the results already delivered.

Does it work on K-pop, J-pop, Arabic, Hindi, and other non-Latin scripts?

Yes. Names come back in whatever script Spotify publishes: Hangul, Kanji, Cyrillic, Arabic, Devanagari, Thai, Hebrew, Simplified and Traditional Chinese. intl-ko/, intl-ja/, intl-de/, intl-ar/, and every other locale prefix is accepted. BTS (3Nrfpe0tUJi4K4DXYWgMUX), Arijit Singh (4YRxDV8wJFPHPTeXepOstw), and Amr Diab (5abSRg0xN1NV3gLbuvX24M) all return monthly listeners, top cities, top tracks, and biography. More IDs to try: top artists by region.

How fast is it?

2 to 5 seconds per entity at default memory (512 MB). A batch of 500 artists takes about 15 minutes. Long playlist discovery runs take longer: see Limitations. Playlists of up to 500 tracks paginate automatically in a single run.

What's the rate limit?

None you have to manage. The actor paces requests and retries on its own. No Spotify API quota to track and no OAuth to babysit.

Can I integrate Spotify Scraper with other tools?

Push results straight into Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive, and any webhook consumer. The Apify platform treats every actor as a webhook source. See Apify integrations.

Can I use it with the Apify API?

Yes. Minimal start-run call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/sourabhbgp~spotify-scraper/runs?token=APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"artist","spotifyUrls":["3TVXtAsR1Inumwj472S9r4"],"maxResults":1}'

Full docs: Apify API reference.

Can I use it through an MCP server (Claude Desktop, Cursor)?

Yes. Apify ships an MCP server that exposes every actor as a tool. Setup: Apify MCP docs.
