Contact us
How do I get Spotify artist data with an API?
Send a GET request to /v1/spotify/artist with either an id or url parameter. SocialCrawl returns the artist's name, follower count, genres, and related artists as unified JSON — no OAuth or app registration required.
What fields does the Spotify Artist API return?
The response includes the artist ID, display name, follower count, genre tags, and a related-artists list, all mapped to SocialCrawl's unified Author schema shared across 40+ platforms.
Can I get a Spotify artist's follower count?
Yes. The follower count arrives on every artist response. Paste the artist URL straight from open.spotify.com into the url parameter — you don't need to look up the artist ID first.
How much does the Spotify Artist API cost?
Each request costs 1 credit on the standard tier. New accounts include 100 free credits with no credit card, which covers about 100 artist lookups.
Do I need a Spotify developer account to use this?
No. The official Web API requires app registration and OAuth token management. SocialCrawl replaces all of that with one x-api-key header that also works on every other SocialCrawl platform.
