What is the Spotify Web API?
From Spotify: Our API is what is commonly known as a RESTful API. Basically it is an interface that programs can use to retrieve and manage Spotify data over the internet. The Web API uses the same HTTP protocol that’s used by every internet browser. In fact, you can access the API directly from your own browser. Try clicking this link and see what happens
Is Spotify API Free?
Yes, Spotify‘s API is free to use.
A lot of words, not much code? Can you fix?
Thanks for reaching out! This was a round-up post, not a technical tutorial. You can read our tutorials here: https://rapidapi.com/blog/category/tutorial/
You can also click the link to call any of these APIs and dig straight into the code.
Do any of these APIs actually allow you to stream the music itself (besides the 30 second preview from Spotify)? It seems like these are more for the information about the music than the actual music itself, unless I’m missing something.
Not any of *these* api’s as far as I’m aware. I know with google play, you can stream the music but it’s unofficial, so I’m not 100% clear on the ToS. Here’s a link: https://github.com/simon-weber/gmusicapi. There’s plenty of libraries in other languages built up around it.
@ekalaracha This article was more focused on music data (ex. song titles, lyrics etc.) vs. actually streaming.
RapidAPI currently doesn’t support any API functionality that streams music. However, you can apply for access through the Spotify API page: https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/libspotify/

Hi, I am looking for an API that can tell me in live time how many people are listening to a song on a particular platform such as Spotify etc. Do you have any advice?
Which one is the best api for commercial use?
And is there free api for commercial use?
