Spotify's public API without authentication
Hi guys, This is just a simple script I've written while I was trying to find a way to implement Spotify public playlists into my last project I've published here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36496644 It works by using an endpoint that returns a script filled with credentials for anonymous browsing. This way you can get accessToken and clientID to use with the Spotify Web API. Hope you find it useful!
Spotify's public API without authentication launched on June 29, 2023 with 18 votes, #1,580 of 4,655 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.
In plain words
This is a script that enables access to Spotify's Web API without requiring user authentication. It retrieves anonymous credentials by exploiting an endpoint that provides access tokens and client IDs, allowing developers to fetch public Spotify playlists and related data. The tool is designed for developers building projects that integrate Spotify's public content without implementing full OAuth authentication flows.

Initially, I built the site to only work for me, however I wanted the website to be re-usable for anyone. You can now login to your own Twitter/Spotify/Strava accounts for your own personal feed. Everything is stored locally in your own browser so there's none of your data floating around in the clouds somewhere. You can find the code at https://github.com/allister-grange/startertab.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
