Spotify Open Web API SDK - TypeScript

This is an implementation leveraging the open API of Spotify. This is used to access some resources that have been removed from the API as of December 2024.

Note: It can only be used on public playlists. The preferred method is to first attempt to load data using the normal Spotify API. And if that fails retry using this approach.

Resources

This API can be used to access resources that are publicly available. For example the Old School Rap Mix.

How to use

Install the open-spotify-sdk library with NPM:

npm install @jjdenhertog/open-spotify-sdk

Initiate the library

import { OpenSpotifyApi } from '@jjdenhertog/open-spotify-api';

const sdk = OpenSpotifyApi()

Get playlist

The code snippet below loads a playlist and all tracks related to that playlist.

const playlist = await sdk.playlists.getFull('spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1EIhoSaISLaaJc')

Or if you prefer to do the operation manually it would look like this.

let offset = 0;
const limit = 50;
const playlist = await sdk.playlists.get('spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1EIhoSaISLaaJc', offset, limit)

// Check if more tracks can be loaded
let hasMoreResults = playlist.tracks.offset + playlist.tracks.limit < playlist.tracks.total;
while(hasMoreResults){

    offset += limit;
    const result = await sdk.playlists.get('spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1EIhoSaISLaaJc', offset, limit)
    
    // Append tracks
    playlist.tracks.items = playlist.tracks.items.concat(result.tracks.items)
    hasMoreResults = result.tracks.offset + result.tracks.limit < result.tracks.total;
}
    
// Playlist loaded with all tracks
