What Is a Spotify ID?
A Spotify ID is a unique 22-character Base62 identifier (using A-Z, a-z, and 0-9) assigned to every track, album, artist, playlist, show, and episode in Spotify's catalog. It's the core identifier embedded in both the Spotify URI (spotify:track:<id>) and the public URL (https://open.spotify.com/track/<id>).
The ID is what the Spotify Web API uses to look up content, what podcast networks use to track episode performance, and what playlist tools use when adding tracks programmatically.
How to Find a Spotify ID
- Open the Spotify desktop app, web player, or mobile app.
- Find the track, album, artist, playlist, show, or episode you want the ID for.
- Click the three-dot menu, choose Share, then Copy link (mobile) or Copy Spotify URI (desktop, hold Option/Alt).
- Paste it above and click Find ID.
The ID is the 22-character string that appears after the type segment — for example, 6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6 in spotify:track:6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6.
Spotify ID Formats by Type
| Type | URI format | URL format |
|---|---|---|
| Track | spotify:track:<id> | open.spotify.com/track/<id> |
| Album | spotify:album:<id> | open.spotify.com/album/<id> |
| Artist | spotify:artist:<id> | open.spotify.com/artist/<id> |
| Playlist | spotify:playlist:<id> | open.spotify.com/playlist/<id> |
| Show | spotify:show:<id> | open.spotify.com/show/<id> |
| Episode | spotify:episode:<id> | open.spotify.com/episode/<id> |
Why Extract a Spotify ID?
- Spotify Web API — endpoints like
/tracks/{id},/artists/{id}, and/playlists/{id}require the bare ID, not the full URL or URI. - Analytics dashboards — tools like Chartmetric, Soundcharts, and Spotify for Artists reference content by ID.
- Playlist management — bulk playlist tools and submission platforms often require IDs.
- Embeds and deep links — building custom embed iframes manually requires only the ID, not the URI.
- Database storage — storing the 22-char ID is more compact than storing the full URL.
ID vs URI vs URL
All three reference the same content but serve different purposes:
| Format | Use case | |
|---|---|---|
| ID | 6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6 | API requests, database storage |
| URI | spotify:track:6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6 | Spotify desktop app, deep linking |
| URL | https://open.spotify.com/track/6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6 | Sharing, web links, social media |
