description: Spotify is the world's leading music streaming platform with 600M+ users
  and 100M+ tracks. The Spotify Web API enables developers to discover music and podcasts,
  manage Spotify libraries, control audio playback, access audio analysis, and build
  personalized music experiences. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with scopes for user-authorized
  access. The API underwent significant changes in February 2026 with new generic
  library endpoints and streamlined playlist management.
