What Is a Spotify Track URI?

A Spotify track URI uniquely identifies a single song or audio track in Spotify's catalog. Every track on Spotify has its own URI, making it the most precise way to reference a specific song. Developers use track URIs extensively when building apps that interact with Spotify's Web API, such as music recommendation engines, playlist generators, or listening history analyzers.

Spotify Track URI Format

A Spotify track URI follows this format:

spotify:track:{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 Track converter.

Spotify Track URL Format

The equivalent URL format for the same track is:

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

Real Examples

How to Find a Spotify Track URI

In the Spotify desktop app, right-click any song, select "Share", then hold Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) and click "Copy Spotify URI". On mobile, tap the three dots on any track, tap "Share", and copy the link (this gives you a URL which you can convert here).

When to Use a Spotify Track URI

  • Share a specific song on social media, blogs, or messaging apps by converting the URI to a clickable URL.
  • Use track URIs in Spotify Web API calls to add songs to playlists, get audio features, or fetch track metadata.
  • DJs and playlist curators often work with track URIs when using bulk playlist management tools.
  • Convert URLs from shared links back to URIs for use in automation scripts or Spotify integrations.
