What do music lovers do when they are not enjoying a concert of their favorite band with their friends? Well, creating playlists with your favorite artists and listening to them on spotify.
And no wonder. Just as Netflix for a long time has been practically synonymous with streaming movies, Spotify became the undisputed application for listening to music. After all, just at the time when piracy was putting the music industry on the ropes, Spotify came along to offer the ability to listen to almost all of your favorite artists without the need for downloads.
The facilities offered by the application made the vast majority of music lovers even prefer to pay a minimum amount to have all their music in one place and not have to download each song or album they want to listen to and expose themselves to the risk of filling their computers with viruses or realize that the files were fake or of poor quality.
And as streaming became the method par excellence for listening to music, other options such as Amazon or Apple were introduced to the market, each one introduced different features such as following your favorite artists, recommendations by tastes or creating lists with the most listened songs.
So if you think about it for a second, checking someone’s Spotify is the best way to know their music tastes. Inside there is information about your last listens, playback time by artist and even the bands that you included the most times in your personalized lists. What would you say if I told you that there is a way to use all this information to find out when and where the next time your favorite artists will play near your city?
By integrating your Spotify with the Music Gigs and Concerts Tracker API, it is possible to use the information about your last listens to obtain recommendations and notifications of the next concerts of your favorite artists.
Music Gigs and Concerts Tracker API is a widely used tool in the music industry. Bloggers and specialized journalists use it when they need up-to-date information on concerts and presentations of the most popular musicians of the moment. Performing a search by artist or by location, it will return in one place all the dates that were announced on the internet, whether on social networks, news pages or ticket sales portals.
By integrating the API to your Spotify account, you can grant it access to user related data, like playlists and music that the user saves in the Your Music library. Such access is enabled through selective authorization, by the user.
Based on simple REST principles, the Music Gigs and Concerts Tracker API endpoints return JSON metadata about music artists, albums, and tracks, directly from the Spotify Data Catalog. If these results are integrated into a content monitoring system, such as Google Alerts, you will be able to receive announcements every time your most listened to artists announce a new date.
This way you won’t miss the next time your favorite bands play near your city. In addition, the API can also be used to obtain information such as the capacity of the venue where the concert will take place or relevant information on how to get to the venue.
With Music Gigs and Concerts Tracker API, planning your next outing will be much easier, getting all the necessary information about upcoming music shows.
