## FAQ

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

Send a GET request to /v1/spotify/track with either an id or url parameter. The response includes the track's artists, album info, duration, playability, and sharing details in unified JSON.

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

Each track response carries the title, contributing artists, album metadata, duration, playability status, and share links — mapped to the unified Post schema SocialCrawl uses across 40+ platforms.

### Can I pass a Spotify track URL instead of an ID?

Yes. Pass either the track ID or the full open.spotify.com/track URL — the endpoint accepts both, so you can feed it links straight from playlists or share buttons.

### How much does the Spotify Track API cost?

Each request costs 1 credit on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required, so you can fetch about 100 tracks before paying anything.

### Do I need OAuth to fetch Spotify track metadata?

No. SocialCrawl handles upstream access for you — one x-api-key header replaces Spotify's app registration, token exchange, and refresh cycle entirely.
