Local Files in Spotify Playlists

In this guide we discuss how local files are exposed in the Spotify Web API Playlist endpoints.

What Are Local Files?

Spotify allows you to play your own collection of music files from within the Spotify client. These tracks appear alongside the music available on Spotify and can be included in users’ playlists, even if that particular track is not available on Spotify itself. For more information on local files, please read our support article.

The Web API can retrieve the contents of playlists, including information on any local files that have been added, via the playlist endpoints.

Identifying Local Files

Requesting the contents of a playlist returns a set of track objects along with extra information about that track’s instance in the playlist. For example:

The key part here is the new property «is_local» which should be used to determine whether the track is a local file.

The Track Object for a Local File

The structure of a Spotify track object for a local file is identical to that of a regular Spotify track, with some notable differences in available data:

The local file information is read by the client software when the file was added to the playlist. Although as much information as possible is taken from the local file, some may be missing so this information is not guaranteed to exist for all local files.

Understanding the Local File URI

The local file URI is constructed from information extracted from the local file when it was added to the playlist as follows:

All available information is also used to populate the object album name, artist name, track name and track duration properties, so parsing this directly should not be necessary.

How Should I Render Local Files to the User?

Whether you display these files to your app’s users is entirely dependent on the functionality that you require in your app. Initially, you could “grey out” the tracks or hide them altogether. If you have access to the filesystem, you could use the information to match the track to the file and replicate the Spotify clients’ behaviour. Or perhaps use the title and artist information to perform a search in the Spotify catalogue.

Web API

Based on simple REST principles, the Spotify Web API endpoints return JSON metadata about music artists, albums, and tracks, directly from the Spotify Data Catalogue.

Web API also provides access to user related data, like playlists and music that the user saves in the Your Music library. Such access is enabled through selective authorization, by the user.

The base address of Web API is https://api.spotify.com. The API provides a set of endpoints, each with its own unique path. To access private data through the Web API, such as user profiles and playlists, an application must get the user’s permission to access the data. Authorization is via the Spotify Accounts service.

Requests

The Spotify Web API is based on REST principles. Data resources are accessed via standard HTTPS requests in UTF-8 format to an API endpoint. Where possible, Web API uses appropriate HTTP verbs for each action:

Spotify URIs and IDs

In requests to the Web API and responses from it, you will frequently encounter the following parameters:

Responses

Web API responses normally include a JSON object. Browse the reference documentation to find descriptions of common responses from each endpoint.

Timestamps

Pagination

Some endpoints support a way of paging the dataset, taking an offset and limit as query parameters:

In this example, in a list of 50 ( total ) singles by the specified artist : From the twentieth ( offset ) single, retrieve the next 10 ( limit ) singles.

Conditional Requests

Most API responses contain appropriate cache-control headers set to assist in client-side caching:

Response Status Codes

Web API uses the following response status codes, as defined in the RFC 2616 and RFC 6585:

Response Schema

Web API uses two different formats to describe an error:

Authentication Error Object

Whenever the application makes requests related to authentication or authorization to Web API, such as retrieving an access token or refreshing an access token, the error response follows RFC 6749 on the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework.

Here is an example of a failing request to refresh an access token.

Regular Error Object

Apart from the response code, unsuccessful responses return a JSON object containing the following information:

Here, for example is the error that occurs when trying to fetch information for a non-existent track:

Authentication

All requests to Web API require authentication. This is achieved by sending a valid OAuth access token in the request header. For more information about these authentication methods, see the Web API Authorization Guide.

URI Codes

I can’t seem to get URI codes to put up on a website. I read some of the articles in this community about it, yet no one actually provides an answer as to how to do it. It is said if you have the URL link it’s easy to find the URI, so apparently i’m an **bleep**! Can someone please explain how to get to the URI codes without posting their actual playlist?!

I can help you by explaining it. 🙂

First, I show you 3 Spotify urls and 3 Spotify URI’s for artist, album and song. The asterisks are added to keep them from turning into play buttons.

This is the URL (website address)

In the desktop Spotify client you can get it by clicking the three dots on song/album/artist, going to Share and selecting «Copy song/album/artist link».

What’s common between the two is this long line of code (eg. 27ftYHLeunzcSzb33Wk1hf) and whether it’s an album, artist or a song.
So when you’ve got a Spotify url and you need to turn it into an URI, or vice versa, it’s very simple.

You can get both website addresses and URI’s for your playlists and profile as well. Playlist ones appear longer than others and asterisks are added to avoid play buttons.

URL (website address)

Basically, when you want to turn an URL into URI, then delete everything except for ‘spotify’, ‘artist’/’song’/’album’/’user’ and ‘playlist’ and the lengthy code, and then add colons between them.

You don’t need «?si=sBS05mmQRv6qo2udnQNUPw» included in your URI. Both website address and the URI work perfectly fine without it.

I also suggest reading this article for more information about sharing playlists and other Spotify content. 🙂
