Is it possible to get the play count of a song (for the current user)? I only found Toplist and the Track class, but neither tells me how often a user listened to a song.

  • @Thomas, there is already a tag for Spotify. Why did you add a new one to over twenty questions? – Charles Jan 08 '14 at 01:08

    @Charles his comment to the edit was "Introducing new tag for spotify apps, to distinguish from other spotify apis" – TomTasche Jan 08 '14 at 08:08

    @Charles, seemed appropriate, considering the existence of the libspotify and cocoalibspotify2.0 tags – Thomas Jan 08 '14 at 16:46
  • @Thomas, those tags are for specific libraries that implement the API. Regardless, I now see what you're talking about -- there's a *new* Spotify API for "apps." The tag wiki is confusing, and I'll be submitting a correction... – Charles Jan 08 '14 at 18:20

As far as I know there is no way to retrieve that data at the moment.

    If you care about this feature, please give it a "thumbs up" on GitHub: https://github.com/spotify/web-api/issues/70 – oalders May 05 '16 at 04:20

This is not possible through the Spotify API right now. The Last.fm API does offer information similar to this, as a potential work-around.

Marked as not right now on the Spotify support site.

However, this article from 538 a journalist got a look at Nestify where that information is available.

I would assume that the information would eventually be made available via the API.
