# SpotiURL

> Free tools for converting between Spotify URLs and URIs, generating Spotify embed codes, and cleaning tracking parameters from Spotify links. Supports tracks, albums, artists, playlists, shows (podcasts), and episodes.

SpotiURL is built for musicians, DJs, playlist curators, podcasters, labels, and developers who work with the Spotify Web API or share Spotify links at scale. All tools run client-side in the browser; no data is sent to a server, no account is required.

## Spotify identifier formats

Spotify references content in two interchangeable formats that share the same 22-character Base62 ID:

- **URI format:** `spotify:{type}:{id}`, used by the Spotify Web API, desktop app, and automation tools.
- **URL format:** `https://open.spotify.com/{type}/{id}`, used for sharing, web links, and deep links.

Both formats accept these six content types: `track`, `album`, `artist`, `playlist`, `show`, `episode`.

### Conversion rules

- URI → URL: replace `spotify:` prefix with `https://open.spotify.com/` and swap the colon between type and ID for a slash.
- URL → URI: strip `https://open.spotify.com/`, replace the slash between type and ID with a colon, prepend `spotify:`.
- Query strings (`?si=...`, `?utm_source=...`) on URLs are tracking parameters and can be safely removed; they are not part of the canonical identifier.
- The ID portion is always 22 characters, Base62 (`A-Z`, `a-z`, `0-9`).

### Type reference

| Type | URI format | URL format | Example ID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Track | `spotify:track:{id}` | `https://open.spotify.com/track/{id}` | `6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6` |
| Album | `spotify:album:{id}` | `https://open.spotify.com/album/{id}` | `0sNOF9WDwhWunNAHPD3Baj` |
| Artist | `spotify:artist:{id}` | `https://open.spotify.com/artist/{id}` | `06HL4z0CvFAxyc27GXpf02` |
| Playlist | `spotify:playlist:{id}` | `https://open.spotify.com/playlist/{id}` | `37i9dQZF1DXcBWIGoYBM5M` |
| Show (podcast) | `spotify:show:{id}` | `https://open.spotify.com/show/{id}` | `4rOoJ6Egrf8K2IrywzwOMk` |
| Episode | `spotify:episode:{id}` | `https://open.spotify.com/episode/{id}` | `512ojhOuo1ktJprKbVcKyQ` |

## MCP Server & REST API (for AI agents and developers)

SpotiURL exposes all of its tools programmatically: free, no API key, no authentication.

- **MCP server (Streamable HTTP):** `https://spotiurl.com/api/mcp/`. Tools: `convert_spotify_link`, `convert_spotify_links_bulk` (up to 500 links per call), `clean_spotify_link`, `generate_spotify_embed`. Connect from Claude Code (`claude mcp add --transport http spotiurl https://spotiurl.com/api/mcp/`), Claude Desktop/claude.ai custom connectors, Cursor, or any MCP client.
- **REST API:** `GET https://spotiurl.com/api/convert/?input={url-or-uri}` returns `{type, id, uri, url}`; `GET https://spotiurl.com/api/clean/?url={url}` returns the canonical link with tracking parameters removed; `GET https://spotiurl.com/api/embed/?input={url-or-uri}&size={compact|normal|large}&theme={dark|light}` returns iframe embed HTML.
