What Is a Spotify Show URI?

A Spotify show URI identifies a podcast or show on Spotify's platform. Show URIs point to the podcast's main page, which includes all episodes, the show description, and publisher information. Podcast producers, networks, and developers use show URIs to build listening dashboards, cross-promote shows, or integrate with podcast analytics platforms.

Spotify Show URI Format

A Spotify show URI follows this format:

spotify:show:{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 Show converter.
