Spotify Code Generator

Based on the API used by spotifycodes.com. There isn't any documentation on this API, so that's included below.

The API

The API is used to get a code of some format based on a URI. It will not work with URLs, so they need to be converted client-side. Since it is undocumented, I put some basic info here for quick reference.

An example API call:

Copied Spotify link:

https://open.spotify.com/track/5Z9KJZvQzH6PFmb8SNkxuk?si=cdb1733863ac447f

API call:

https://scannables.scdn.co/uri/plain/svg/000000/white/640/spotify:track:5Z9KJZvQzH6PFmb8SNkxuk

Note that scannables.scdn.co is an alias for Spotify.

Breakdown

https://scannables.scdn.co/uri/plain/<FORMAT>/<BACKGROUUND>/<FOREGROUND>/<WIDTH>/<URI>

• uri/plain/: From what I can tell, this doesn't ever change.
• FORMAT: Image format. Accepts jpeg, png, and svg.
  • content-type: image/jpeg, image/png, image/svg+xml
• BACKGROUUND: Arbitrary background color. Only accepts 6-digit RGB hex code.
• FOREGROUND: The foreground color; only white and black accepted.
• WIDTH: Integer width in pixels. For SVGs, this will just set the file width; the designed width will always be 400.
• URI: The URI of the track/user/artist/etc.

Spotify Metadata API

Example:

https://api.spotify.com/v1/tracks/5Z9KJZvQzH6PFmb8SNkxuk

Returns the following (greatly shortened for brevity):

{
  "name" : "INDUSTRY BABY (feat. Jack Harlow)",
  "uri" : "spotify:track:5Z9KJZvQzH6PFmb8SNkxuk",
  "album" : {
    "name" : "MONTERO",
    "uri" : "spotify:album:6pOiDiuDQqrmo5DbG0ZubR"
  },
  "artists" : [ {
      "name" : "Lil Nas X",
      "uri" : "spotify:artist:7jVv8c5Fj3E9VhNjxT4snq"
    }, {
      "name" : "Jack Harlow",
      "uri" : "spotify:artist:2LIk90788K0zvyj2JJVwkJ"
    } ]
}
