Spotify Scraper — Tracks, Artists, Albums & Playlists

Search Spotify and pull clean, structured JSON for tracks, artists, albums and playlists in one run. No Spotify login or API key to set up — authentication is handled automatically. Reliable for music research, catalog building and analytics, with a residential proxy rotated per request by default to stay ahead of IP rate limits.

• 🎤 Artist & track detail — artist records carry verified status and image; tracks include artists, album, durationMs and explicit.
• 💿 Album metadata — albumType, contributing artists and releaseDate per album.
• 📝 Playlists — owner, cleaned description and cover image.
• 🔁 Automatic auth — no keys to manage; a residential proxy rotates per request.
• 🧱 Flat, normalized JSON — consistent field names across every entity type.
