Charts API

[pa12]

Spotify recently made an update to their Spotify Viral Charts, which used to be available here: http://charts.spotify.com/.

They are now available only via the web player itself: https://play.spotify.com/chart/6o9o1UphRtyv10VPuDT80D and I was wondering if there is a Spotipy solution to grab the songs from the Viral charts into Python.

As an example, here is the Global Viral 50 chart I would like to pull data on: spotify:app:chart:6o9o1UphRtyv10VPuDT80D

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Long time since this was opened, but in case you're still interested - Spotify is working on a new Charts page that'll replace the existing charts.spotify.com page, but it's not available yet.

there's spotifycharts.com which offers a download option of current and historical chart position data as csv. The domain is registered by spotify so it has to be official.

@drs-m, can confirm that it's official. There are however no public API endpoints to retrieve the charts data yet.

Related to spotify/web-api#33. (Spotify's repository for tracking feature requests and bug tickets for its Web API.

Closing for now as it's still not implemented by the web API
