• Authorization flow helpers.
• Automatic refreshing of access tokens.
• Automatic retry of rate limited requests.
• PSR-4 autoloading support.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1 or later.
• PHP cURL extension (Usually included with PHP).

Installation

composer require jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php

Usage

Before using the Spotify Web API, you'll need to create an app at Spotify’s developer site.

Note: Applications created after 2021-05-27 might need to perform some extra steps.

Simple example displaying a user's profile:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$session = new SpotifyWebAPI\Session(
    'CLIENT_ID',
    'CLIENT_SECRET',
    'REDIRECT_URI'
);

$api = new SpotifyWebAPI\SpotifyWebAPI();

if (isset($_GET['code'])) {
    $session->requestAccessToken($_GET['code']);
    $api->setAccessToken($session->getAccessToken());

    print_r($api->me());
} else {
    $options = [
        'scope' => [
            'user-read-email',
        ],
    ];

    header('Location: ' . $session->getAuthorizeUrl($options));
    die();
}

For more instructions and examples, check out the documentation.

The Spotify Web API Console can also be of great help when trying out the API.
