Spotify Scraper

Search Spotify and pull clean, structured JSON for tracks, artists, albums and playlists in one run. No Spotify login or API key to set up — authentication is handled automatically. Reliable for music research, catalog building and analytics, with a residential proxy rotated per request by default to stay ahead of IP rate limits.

Features

• 🎼 Four types at once — searchType accepts any mix of track, artist, album and playlist.
• 🔍 Multi-keyword search — pass several terms in searches; each is queried independently and de-duplicated.
• 🎤 Artist & track detail — artist records carry verified status and image; tracks include artists, album, durationMs and explicit.
• 💿 Album metadata — albumType, contributing artists and releaseDate per album.
• 📝 Playlists — owner, cleaned description and cover image.
• 🔁 Automatic auth — no keys to manage; a residential proxy rotates per request.
• 🧱 Flat, normalized JSON — consistent field names across every entity type.

FAQ

Do I need a Spotify account or API key? No. There is no login and no developer API key to configure — authentication is handled automatically.

How many items can I get per run? You control volume with maxItemsPerSearch (1–50), applied per selected type per search term. Pass multiple keywords in searches to scale a single run across many queries.

Can I download songs or audio? No. This Actor returns public metadata only — track, artist, album and playlist details. It does not download audio streams or any DRM-protected content.

What's the output format? Flat, normalized JSON with one record per item, and consistent field names across tracks, artists, albums and playlists. You can export it as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the dataset.

Can I search for artists, albums and playlists too, not just tracks? Yes. Set searchType to any mix of track, artist, album and playlist, and each selected type is queried and returned in the same run.

Can I integrate this with other tools? The Spotify Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.

Notes

This Actor reads the public Spotify web player and returns public metadata only — no audio streams or DRM-protected content. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Spotify; all trademarks belong to their respective owners.

You pay only for what the run returns. Set a maximum cost per run and it stops cleanly at that limit.
