Frequently Asked Questions

A Spotify URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is a unique string that identifies a specific resource in Spotify's catalog. It follows the format spotify:type:id, for example spotify:track:6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6. URIs are primarily used by developers working with the Spotify API and for deep linking into the Spotify app. Learn more about specific URI types:

• Track URIs
• Album URIs
• Artist URIs
• Playlist URIs
• Show URIs
• Episode URIs

A Spotify URL is a standard web link that opens content in the Spotify app or web player. It looks like https://open.spotify.com/track/6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6. URLs are what you typically share on social media, in messages, or embed on websites. You can convert any Spotify URL to a URI using our converter.

The converter supports all main Spotify content types. Use the dedicated converter for each type:

• Track converter — individual songs
• Album converter — albums, EPs, and singles
• Artist converter — artist profiles
• Playlist converter — playlists
• Show converter — podcasts and shows
• Episode converter — individual podcast episodes

1. Open the Spotify desktop application.
2. Navigate to the track, album, artist, or playlist.
3. Right-click (or click the three dots).
4. Select "Share".
5. Hold Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows).
6. Click "Copy Spotify URI".

Or simply copy the URL from the Spotify app and paste it into our converter to get the URI instantly.

The web player doesn't directly expose URIs. You can copy the URL from the address bar and use our converter to get the URI, or open the content in the desktop app and use the method above.

• Developers need URIs for Spotify Web API requests. See our guides on track URI format and album URI format.
• Sharing is easier with URLs since they open in a browser. Use our track converter to get shareable links.
• DJs and curators may need specific formats for playlist management tools. Works great with Promoly for sending promos.
• Deep linking into the Spotify app requires URIs. Learn about artist URIs and playlist URIs.

• Make sure the URI starts with spotify: and has three parts separated by colons.
• Make sure the URL starts with https://open.spotify.com/.
• Check for extra spaces or characters that may have been copied accidentally.
• Verify the content type is valid (track, album, artist, playlist, show, or episode).
