How health is measured
  • Health = the share of calls that returned data, in percent. Empty results, failures and unknown outcomes do not count as returning data.
  • Levels: 90% and above is healthy, 70% and above is available, 40% and above is limited; anything lower is mostly down.
  • A period (the last 24 hours, one hour or one day) gets a score only once it has at least 50 calls. Periods with fewer calls show as normal: a few failures among a handful of calls do not mean the API is down.
  • Calls include real customer calls and our own daily probe calls. Request errors (wrong parameters, no balance) are excluded.
  • Average time counts only calls that completed normally: response time for sync calls, acceptance to completion for async ones.

Retrieve a public album from Spotify. Accepts these parameters: url. Returns these fields: release_date, album_type, track_count, and image_url.

Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Request parameters

NameInTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
AuthorizationheaderstringYes-Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository.
platformbodystringYesspotifyPlatform identifier, fixed value.
actionbodystringYesalbumCapability identifier, fixed value.
urlbody.paramsNot declaredYes-Specifies the target open.spotify.com link, spotify:type:ID URI, or raw entity ID corresponding to the chosen action (artist, track, album, or playlist). Input types must match the endpoint action and cannot be interchanged. Legacy profile endpoints accept full Spotify links to return album and single streaming metadata rather than user profile account details.

Response example

Real response

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the source does not provide are never made up.

FieldMeaning
idThe record's unique ID on the source platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
urlLink to the record on the source platform.
nameName of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities.
album_typeKeeps the platform's own meaning
artistsKeeps the platform's own meaning
release_dateKeeps the platform's own meaning
labelKeeps the platform's own meaning
copyrightKeeps the platform's own meaning
track_countKeeps the platform's own meaning
image_urlImage link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array.
tracksKeeps the platform's own meaning
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

Errors and billing

401
Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422
Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402
Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429
Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After and try again.
503
Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty
The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

  • Spotify: Naked IDs Lack Explicit Resource Types ↗

    Official documentation notes that a raw Spotify ID does not explicitly declare its underlying resource type without invocation context, whereas URIs encode type information. Callers must align the selected action, URL path, and targeted ID type, as a raw string will not automatically convert across different resource types.
