What Is a Spotify Episode URI?

A Spotify episode URI identifies a single podcast episode on Spotify. Episode URIs are more specific than show URIs, pointing to one particular episode with its own description, duration, and release date. These are useful for sharing specific episodes, building episode-level analytics, or creating curated podcast recommendations.

Spotify Episode URI Format

A Spotify episode URI follows this format:

spotify:episode:{id}

The {id} is a unique 22-character Base62 identifier assigned by Spotify. This ID is the same in both the URI and URL formats — only the surrounding structure changes. Ready to convert? Use our Spotify Episode converter.

Spotify Episode URL Format

The equivalent URL format for the same episode is:

https://open.spotify.com/episode/{id}
