Spotify has cut access to several of its API features. Eight different endpoints will no longer be accessible, according to a company announcement. Some of these endpoints include: Related Artists, Featured Playlists, and Recommendations. Many developers on X have already noticed the changes and started complaining:
Looks like Spotify’s API changes are affecting a lot of devs. For regular listeners who just want uninterrupted music and playlists, some users are turning to options like a Spotify mod APK—but it’s important to use trusted sources and understand the risks before trying anything unofficial.
This means any app or service that depended on those specific endpoints (for example, third-party recommendation tools or playlist generators) will now either stop working or return incomplete data. Many developers noticed this change suddenly because Spotify didn’t provide a long transition period.
If your app or tool used those endpoints, you’ll need to:
Check Spotify’s new API documentation for alternative endpoints.
Migrate to their “Search” and “Browse” endpoints (some limited overlap still exists).
Consider caching or mixing APIs — e.g., use Spotify’s
/searchplus your own logic for recommendations.Thanks man for sharing
