Spotify Play Count Scraper

Get the per-track play count Spotify shows on its web player — the big "plays" number next to each song — plus track and album details. This number is not available in Spotify's official API; this actor reads exactly what the web player displays.

Paste track or album links, press Run, and get clean JSON with play counts for every track.

Why use this actor

• The real play count — the exact number shown on the Spotify web player, per track.
• No account, no login, no API key — just press Run.
• Albums expand automatically — give it an album link and get one row per track, each with its own play count.
• Rich detail per track — song name, artists, album, duration, explicit flag, and the full original data.
• Accepts links, URIs, or bare IDs — https://open.spotify.com/track/..., spotify:album:..., or a 22-character ID.
• Clean, stable JSON ready for spreadsheets, dashboards, databases, or reporting pipelines. Export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, and run it on a schedule.

How it works

1. Paste one or more track or album links (or URIs / bare IDs).
2. For a track, the actor returns that track's play count and details. For an album, it returns every track on the album, each with its own play count.
3. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You don't manage any scrapers, servers, tokens, or logins — the actor handles all of that and retries automatically.

Input

{
  "albumOrTrackUrls": [
    "https://open.spotify.com/track/0DiWol3AO6WpXZgp0goxAV",
    "https://open.spotify.com/album/4m2880jivSbbyEGAKfITCa"
  ],
  "albumTrackLimit": 300,
  "maxConcurrency": 4

Using bare IDs instead of links:

{
  "ids": ["0DiWol3AO6WpXZgp0goxAV"],
  "idType": "track"
}

Field	Type	Description

Output

Every record carries a small header (_input, _scrapedAt, _source, recordType) and the fields you actually want (play count, name, artists, album), followed by raw — the full original object with all field names preserved.

Notes & limits

• Play counts are a live snapshot at run time and update as Spotify updates them.
• Works with any public track or album — no account needed.
• Podcasts/episodes are not covered (Spotify doesn't publish play counts for those).
• For very large albums or compilations, raise albumTrackLimit.
