This guide and the associated assignment takes advantage of these public endpoints. More importantly, Spotify's API doesn't require an authenticated account to try things out. I've chosen Spotify, not as an explicit endorsement of the service, but it's the one I currently use, and I only have time to document one service's API.
There are a few commercial music APIs out there: Spotify, Echo Nest (which has been acquired by Spotify), Last.fm, and Beats Music. In this tutorial, we'll see what that ("related") means in the actual machine-readable data that Spotify provides. Here's the web interface for the artists that Spotify thinks are "related" to Beyoncé: How can a program determine "relevant" music? It could start in a way similar to the way that a human might: look at the artists relevant to the given artist. Later this week I'll be posting an extra-credit assignment that involves writing a command-line script that auto-generates a playlist of relevant music, based on an artist's name provided by a user. Then "Copy Spotify URI" will also appear.A quick introduction to a few of the useful endpoints of the Spotify music service. Once you have this view, then hold down the ctrl or alt keyboard key and you will be able to copy the Spotify URI. You can find your artist URI under your Spotify artist profile by clicking the three dots next to the "Follow" button. So unlike clicking on a HTTP link, when you enter the URI in your browser, you're taken directly to the Spotify app without having to go to the web page first. What you might not know yet: This unique ID allows you to link directly to the Spotify app. Your Spotify artist page, your releases, and your tracks are all linked to an URI. This will guarantee that your releases will never be assigned to the wrong artist profile again.Ī Spotify URI (Uniform Resource Indicator) is a sort of ID which is automatically assigned by Spotify. On release day the artist will then be linked to the correct profile. That’s why we’ve worked hard on a solution to prevent this.ĭig dis! is one of the only few music distributors worldwide where you can submit your Spotify Artist URI directly when uploading a new product to our system. Now if you want to release new music, Spotify might link your track to the wrong artist profile. If yes, we totally feel you here! Due to the large volume of tracks that get released every day, the chances are high that someone picks the same artist name like you which then leads to the creation of two artist profiles under the same name.
Have you ever had the issue on release day that your track appears on the wrong artist profile? If not, lucky you.
