What Is a Spotify Playlist URI?

A Spotify playlist URI identifies a specific playlist, whether it's a personal collection, a collaborative playlist, or one of Spotify's editorial playlists. Playlist URIs are heavily used by playlist curators, submission platforms, and developers building playlist analytics or management tools.

Spotify Playlist URI Format

A Spotify playlist URI follows this format:

spotify:playlist:{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 Playlist converter.

Spotify Playlist URL Format

The equivalent URL format for the same playlist is:

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

How to Find a Spotify Playlist URI

When to Use a Spotify Playlist URI

  • Share your playlists on social media, embed them on websites, or send them in messages.
  • Submit playlists to curator networks or playlist exchange platforms that require URIs.
  • Use playlist URIs in API calls to fetch track listings, add or remove tracks, or analyze playlist data.
  • Playlist management tools and automation scripts typically work with URIs rather than URLs.
