Is there a way to get my Spotify play history using either their js or C APIs? I saw a couple of examples, but that was using their outdated API version.

Spotify play history is not available through any API.

Do you plan on making it available in the future? – kmdent Sep 17 '13 at 16:49

2Highly unlikely in the short term, as in, it's not planned as far as I know. (I'm also a Spotify employee). There is however a twist. If you are interested in getting _your_ play history and _you_ have scrobbled all of your plays to last.fm, you could extract all of it using http://www.last.fm/api/show/user.getRecentTracks – jooon Sep 24 '13 at 17:34

Support for this has been added recently: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/web-api-personalization-endpoints/get-recently-played/
curl -X GET "https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/recently-played" -H "Authorization: Bearer {your access token}"

This endpoint only gives access to the "recently played" list. Is there a way to get the full playing history by dates? – arnon cohen May 18 '21 at 13:47

It doesn't look like it.
The JavaScript Web API doesn't have a method for authentication.
The libspotify C API will handle authentication, but I don't see anything about a user's history. I could be missing it, as I'm not a C expert.

Users can connect Spotify to Last.fm, which does store and give access to a user's play history.
