## FAQ

### How do I get Spotify album data with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/spotify/album with either an id or url parameter. The response includes the album's artists, release date, cover art, tracklist, and copyright info in unified JSON.

### What fields does the Spotify Album API return?

Each album response carries the title, contributing artists, release date, cover art URLs, the full tracklist, copyright lines, and sharing details — all in SocialCrawl's unified schema.

### Can I get an album's full tracklist?

Yes. The tracklist arrives on every album response, with each track's title and metadata included, so you can render an album page from a single API call.
