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:
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
