What Are Spotify URLs and URIs?

A Spotify URL is a web link that points to specific content on Spotify, such as a track, album, artist, or playlist, which you can easily share or open in a web browser. It typically starts with https://open.spotify.com/ followed by the type of content and its unique identifier.

A Spotify URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is a Spotify-specific identifier used within the Spotify app to locate the same content directly. It starts with spotify: followed by the content type and its unique identifier. For example: spotify:track:6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6.

These formats help users and developers link and manage Spotify content easily both inside and outside the Spotify ecosystem.

WHEN TO USE EACH

Use Cases

  • Spotify URLs are used for sharing links externally via websites, social media, or messaging, as they open in the browser or Spotify web player.
  • Spotify URIs are used within the Spotify app or API to reference and play specific content programmatically or within Spotify-supported applications.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

A Spotify URL is a web link (starting with https://open.spotify.com/) that opens content in a browser or the Spotify web player. A Spotify URI is an internal identifier (starting with spotify:) used by the Spotify app and API to reference content directly. Both point to the same content but are used in different contexts.

In the Spotify desktop app, right-click on any track, album, artist, or playlist and select Share > Copy Spotify URI. On mobile, tap the three dots menu, then Share, and look for the URI option. You can also use our converter above to extract the URI from any Spotify URL.

Use URIs when working with the Spotify API, building integrations, or deep-linking directly into the Spotify app. Use URLs when sharing links via social media, email, or websites where recipients may not have the Spotify app installed.

Yes, as long as the content remains on Spotify. Each track, album, artist, and playlist has a unique identifier that stays the same. If content is removed from Spotify, both the URL and URI will stop working.
