I’m trying to retrieve some metadata from a Spotify playlist on a website, not to be launched in the Spotify application. One example I have seen out in the wild is a website called ShareMyPlaylists.
It is able to retrieve the playlist name, number of tracks, duration, track lists, and more. Does anyone know how a site like this is able to get this metadata?
You can get the spotify api from spotify.com.
It’s not available for plain javascript, you need server side script as well.
Here you have links to all api’s: http://www.spotify.com/se/about/spotify-on-the-web/developer-resources/
