Songwriter & producer credits in API

[rahulrumalla]

Hello.

Are there any plans of making the songwriter & producer credits/metadata available via the APIs? This would be an amazing feature for developers and third-parties to access.

Ideally, if the credits can be linked at the Track level and also retrieve the creator's metadata individually ( similar to the artist object ), that would be fantastic. It would open up so many possibilities.

New objects

Writer (All basic metadata plus ExternalIDs as IPI / ISNI )
Producer (All basic metadata plus ExternalIDs as IPN if applicable )

Are there any plans to implement this to API?

[arirawr]

Hey @oscarsidebo - we don't have any updates on this yet. Rest assured, we'll post here as soon as we have updates to share with you!

[jamesalexscott]

+1, this woud be great

[Drew3D]

+1. Now that songwriter and producer credits are available in the Spotify desktop and iOS apps, this feature would be fantastic to have in the API.

Hello all!

We really agree it would be fantastic to have this in the Spotify API. The work has been done for this to be rolled out in Desktop and iOS, but there's still work for it to be in other places - including the API.

There are plans to address this in the next few months, so I'll leave this open and will comment here with any updates as we hear them. Thanks for the feature request!

+1 - looking to implement this in an app but it seems like we'll have to use the wikipedia api (headache)

+1, would be very useful

[Mike-Griffin]

+1, I would love to have this feature!

[zacwolfe]

Having the ISWC # in addition to the ISRC (that we already get) would be incredibly helpful as well (praying hands emoji here)

[tobiasger]

Would be very useful indeed!

@bih it’s been about a year since your comments and apparently no movement with regard to the API and this issue. Any updates?

[Maufive]

Also looking for some updates on this. Would be very interested in this feature

[colemahatmccreary]

It was supposedly addressed in August of 2018, and a year has gone by without updates/comments...

[nicovigil1]

It's been almost a year now since I found this issue & I still check it for updates every couple months

[thejawker]

Would be a great addition to the api, also allowing people to filter on the name of a credited engineer/producer/songwriter would be beneficial. I think it would be fair to the people behind the music to be included in the api as well.

[adamculpepper]

@arirawr, @bih +1 on wanting the API to show songwriter, producer, etc.

[jamesalexscott]

2 years? Seriously?

[arirawr]

@adamculpepper I'm not at Spotify anymore and can't help you with this.

[DevSchmidtchen]

There is actually no easy way to get song producers with an API, you could be the first one to implement this feature. By now I have to use nasty ways using other APIs not made for this reason, but Spotify API would be a place this information really belongs to.
I would love to see this opportunity!

@DiFronzo are the endpoints noted in that help article actually live? I see no documentation for it in the Spotify developer docs, and when I try and access that endpoint I get
{'error': {'status': 404, 'message': 'Service not found'}}
