How to Scrape Spotify Data?
To scrape Spotify data, the recommended and legal method is to use the Spotify Web API, not HTML scraping (which violates Spotify’s Terms of Service).
- Create a Spotify Developer App Go to the Spotify Developer Dashboard, create an app, and obtain your Client ID and Client Secret.
- Authorize Access Use the OAuth 2.0 flow to request an access token. For public track, playlist, and artist data, the Client Credentials flow is sufficient.
- Use an API Wrapper (Optional but easier) Install Spotipy (Python): pip install spotipy from spotipy import Spotify from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials sp = Spotify(client_credentials_manager=SpotifyClientCredentials()) track = sp.track("TRACK_ID") print(track)
- Query Endpoints Access endpoints for tracks, artists, playlists, audio features, and recommendations.
- Store Results Save data to CSV/JSON for analysis.
Always follow Spotify’s rate limits and API usage policies.
