If you share a name with another artist, the Artist URL will prevent your music from appearing on their page. This will ensure your new release is placed on your existing artist page. Table.artists td.Artists or Featured Contributors who have previously released to Spotify and/or Apple Music must provide their Artist URL. Get an Artist’s Related Artists - to get information about 20 artists that are most closely associated to a given artist, based on Spotify users' listening history. Search for an item - to get the Spotify unique identifier from the human-readable name of an artist, e.g. For the purposes of programmatically building a relevant playlist – and because we're using just Bash, which is very much not the ideal language for this – here are the three endpoints that I believe are most relevant: You can see all of the Spotify API's endpoints in their guide here. For producing the simple HTML tables, I use the csvfix printf command. Spotify produces its data as JSON, so we'll be using curl for the downloading of the JSON and jq for the parsing. The principles in parsing and accessing them are applicable to any kind of information. The API is also well-documented and robust, however, as with all commercial APIs, the instructions here could become irrelevant next year or next week – the same with my previous guides on Twitter and Instagram ( 1, 2)).īut our purpose is to see how real-world information are modeled as textual data – these APIs happen to be convenient sources of interesting information. This guide and the associated assignment takes advantage of these public endpoints. More importantly, Spotify's API doesn't require an authenticated account to try things out. I've chosen Spotify, not as an explicit endorsement of the service, but it's the one I currently use, and I only have time to document one service's API. There are a few commercial music APIs out there: Spotify, Echo Nest (which has been acquired by Spotify), Last.fm, and Beats Music. In this tutorial, we'll see what that ("related") means in the actual machine-readable data that Spotify provides. Here's the web interface for the artists that Spotify thinks are "related" to Beyoncé: How can a program determine "relevant" music? It could start in a way similar to the way that a human might: look at the artists relevant to the given artist. Later this week I'll be posting an extra-credit assignment that involves writing a command-line script that auto-generates a playlist of relevant music, based on an artist's name provided by a user. A quick introduction to a few of the useful endpoints of the Spotify music service.
