Question

Is there a way to get a list of related artists through the spotify api. Like the small list that displays in the actual program?

Would be very useful if so, but I am not so sure

Cheers

Answer 1

Yes, it s available through libspotify. There s a SPArtistBrowse class that contains a lot of metadata, including the related artists. Check out the

CocoaLibSpotify comes with a documentation package, where you can find more details on what s included: https://github.com/spotify/cocoalibspotify.

Do note that it s currently extremely slow to load an entire SPArtistBrowse object. I m assuming it s got something to do with libspotify loading it all in one chunk and on the main thread (?). From what I know, Spotify are suppose to remedy that in an upcoming version of libspotify, though.

Answer 2

Get an artist s related artists is now available through the Spotify Web API.

GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/{id}/related-artists is the format.

https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/43ZHCT0cAZBISjO8DG9PnE/related-artists is an example request.

For more information, see the API documentation.

There is also a JSFiddle demo app.

Answer 3

Definitely! All you need is the "artist_id" and the SpotifyPublicAPI can return a list of the related artists. You don t need an access_token at all.

You can easily test the API call here on RapidAPI. I ve specifically linked you to the getArtistsRelatedArtists endpoint. Rapid will provide you with a code snippet you can copy and paste directly into your code to make the call.

Here is an example testing the API call using Beyonce s artist_id:

getArtiistsRelatedArtists Beyonce

Here is a sample code snippet provided by RapidAPI wth Beyonce s artist_id passed as a parameter:
