Today on Spotify is horrible for everybody. They killed major part of there API (since 27/11/2024), the following parts are deprecated and can’t be used by any new app.
- Related Artists
- Recommendations
- Audio Features
- Audio Analysis
- Get Featured Playlists
- Get Category’s Playlists
- 30-second preview URLs, in multi-get responses (SimpleTrack object)
- Algorithmic and Spotify-owned editorial playlists
And they did this without any notice. For some people (myself included) this means that a project with months of work is just scrapped in an instant. It is really time to move of Spotify but the alternatives are not that much better, but still better I guess. I will have to look into my own audio analyzer, if I even have the compute for that…
I am happy that this blog is scraping based so I am not dependent on there API and everything just works as before. But meta-tune and my upcoming scraping project are just totally bricked.
