Spotify Play Count Scraper: Streams, Listeners, Credits, Labels

Get the exact play count of any Spotify track: the same number Spotify shows in its app. Paste links or just type names, and get play counts, monthly listeners, followers, world rank, top cities, song credits, and whole label catalogs in seconds.

What you can do

• Get exact play counts for a single track, every track on an album, or an artist's top 10.
• Search by name: no links needed. Type Arctic Monkeys or Blinding Lights and get the best matches.
• Pull a whole discography from one artist: every album, single, EP, and compilation, with play counts for every track.
• Get a label's catalog: type a record label like Domino Recording Co and get play counts for up to 1,000 of its releases.
• Focus on what matters: keep only releases from a date range, or only tracks above a play count.
• See who made each song: songwriters, producers, and engineers for every track.
• Track artist reach: monthly listeners, followers, world rank, and the top 5 cities by listeners.
• Map an artist's world: similar artists, the playlists where fans discover them, releases they appear on, upcoming concerts, and music videos.
• Follow growth over time: schedule a daily run and watch the counts climb.
• Add 30-second preview links to every track.
• Download one tidy play-count sheet: one row per track (artist, album, track, plays), ready for Excel or Google Sheets.

How to use it

1. Paste Spotify links (artists, albums, or tracks, in any mix), type names to search for, or add record labels.
2. For artists, switch on Include all albums (and singles, compilations, or popular releases) to get their full catalog.
3. Optionally narrow it down by release date or minimum play count, and add preview links or song credits.
4. Click Start.
5. Download your results as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or open the play-count sheet from the Output tab.

Links copied from the Spotify app or website both work.

What you get

One result per artist, album, or track. A track looks like this:

{
  "_url": "https://open.spotify.com/track/2x8evxqUlF0eRabbW2JBJd",
  "_type": "track",
  "id": "2x8evxqUlF0eRabbW2JBJd",
  "name": "Fluorescent Adolescent",
  "url": "https://open.spotify.com/track/2x8evxqUlF0eRabbW2JBJd",
  "streamCount": 1246171755,
  "duration": 183893,
  "contentRating": "none",
  "trackNumber": 5,
  "artists": [{ "id": "7Ln80lUS6He07XvHI8qqHH", "name": "Arctic Monkeys", "url": "https://open.spotify.com/artist/7Ln80lUS6He07XvHI8qqHH" }],
  "playable": true,
  "album": { "id": "1XkGORuUX2QGOEIL4EbJKm", "name": "Favourite Worst Nightmare", "type": "album", "releaseDate": "2007-04-22", "totalTracks": 12 }
}

• Albums add every track with its play count, the album's total plays, label, copyright, release date, artists, and cover art.
• Artists add monthly listeners, followers, world rank, top cities, top 10 tracks with play counts, every album, single, and compilation, biography, and social links. You also get "Fans also like" artists, "Discovered on" playlists, releases they appear on, upcoming concerts, music videos, the artist's pick, their own playlists, banner, and photo gallery.

The play-count sheet has one row per track:

artist_name	album_name	track_name	play_count
Arctic Monkeys	Favourite Worst Nightmare	Brianstorm	325608912
Arctic Monkeys	Favourite Worst Nightmare	Teddy Picker	335872590
Arctic Monkeys	Favourite Worst Nightmare	Fluorescent Adolescent	1246171755

Use it from your AI assistant (MCP)

Ask Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or any other assistant that supports MCP for Spotify play counts in plain words. It runs this actor for you and reads back the results.

Add this server to your assistant's MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spotify-play-counts": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=vero-api/spotify-play-count-scraper"
    }
  }
}

The first time it connects, your browser opens so you can sign in to Apify and approve access. No token to copy. Prefer a token? Add "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" } next to the url; you'll find the token under Settings → API & Integrations in Apify Console.

Other ways to set it up:

• MCP configurator: pick this actor at mcp.apify.com and copy the ready-made setup for your assistant.
• Apify CLI: after apify login, run apify mcp install cursor --tools vero-api/spotify-play-count-scraper. Swap cursor for claude-code, vscode, codex, kiro, or antigravity.

Then just ask, for example:

• "How many plays does every track on Arctic Monkeys' AM have?"
• "Compare the monthly listeners of The Weeknd and Dua Lipa."
• "List Domino Recording Co's releases from 2022 with their total plays."
• "Who produced Blinding Lights?"

Runs through your assistant are priced exactly like runs in Apify Console.

Pricing

You pay only for the results you get: one result per artist, album, or track. An album with 100 tracks costs the same as a single track. Each release you get from a discography, label, or search counts as one result.

FAQ

Can't I get play counts from Spotify's developer API? No. It only offers a 0–100 popularity score. This actor gives you the exact play counts Spotify shows in its app.

Do I need a Spotify account or API key? No. Just paste links or type names.

Which label name should I use? The one Spotify shows under an album, like Domino Recording Co. Releases the label put out together with another label are included too.

How big can a run be? As big as you like. One artist with every album switched on returns their whole catalog: Mozart's 500+ albums and 11,000 tracks come back in about a minute.

How fresh are the numbers? They're the live counts Spotify shows at the moment of your run.
