Spotify Track Lookup
Retrieve track metadata from Spotify by track ID.
How the Lookup Works
What is a Spotify Track ID?
Every recording on Spotify carries a 22 character identifier, the last part of its address. In open.spotify.com/track/11dFghVXANMlKmJXsNCbNl the identifier is the string after /track/.
The same song can exist several times, once per release it appears on, and each of those has its own identifier, its own duration and its own position on the record.
How to Use
- Paste the identifier, or the whole Spotify address of the track. Both work, and the address is reduced to the identifier.
- Pick a market. Spotify answers per country, and whether a track can be played is a property of that country rather than of the track.
- Any line of the result can be clicked to copy it.
- Every lookup has its own address, so a market and a track together can be linked to and shared.
Why the Market Matters
| Playable | Whether the recording can be played at all in that country |
| Relinking | Spotify may answer with a different recording of the same song, the one licensed there |
| Absent | A track can be missing from one market and present in the next |
| Same id | The identifier does not change with the market; only the answer about it does |
Important Notes
- The answer comes from Spotify and is only as current as their catalogue. A recording that has been taken down answers with an error rather than with old data.
- An identifier is not a search. There is no way from a title to an identifier here; it has to come from Spotify.
- The cover is loaded from Spotify's image host, so that one request does leave this site. Nothing else about the lookup does.
Privacy & Security: the identifier is sent to this site, which asks Spotify and passes the answer back. Spotify never learns who asked. The album art is the one thing your browser fetches from them directly.
