Get the Spotify ID from any link

User, artist, track, album, playlist or podcast: paste the link from Share → Copy link, or a URI, and get the type, the ID, the clean link and the URI, ready to copy.

What it does

Paste the link of a track, an album, an artist, a playlist, a user or a podcast, or a URI like spotify:track:…, and the tool separates the type and the ID and gives you the clean link (without the si= tracking parameter) and the URI. For everything except users, it adds the title and the artwork Spotify publishes for that link.

It works with Share links from mobile and desktop, with spotify.link short links, with the old playlist links and with embed codes.

Where it is asked for

More and more forms ask for the ID instead of the link:

  • Claiming or verifying a profile on Spotify for Artists.
  • Playlist and curator pitch forms, which often ask for the track ID or URI.
  • Pre-save tools and smart links, which need the artist or release ID.
  • Inviting someone to a collaborative playlist or identifying a profile by its user ID.
  • Integrations and spreadsheets that match data by ID rather than by name.

How to copy the link

On mobile: open the track, album, artist or playlist, tap the three dots, choose Share and then Copy link. On desktop: right-click the item, Share, Copy link. For your own user profile: tap your photo or name, then the three dots, Share and Copy link to profile.

Paste it here as is: the si= parameter Spotify adds does not get in the way.

Limits

An ID on its own does not say what type it is, which is why the tool asks for the link or the URI. User profiles do not publish a title or photo this way, so for them only the ID is returned. Private or deleted content still returns its ID, because it is in the link, but it will have no title.

FAQ

Is the user ID the same as the username?
Not always. Older accounts have a chosen name as their ID; newer ones have a string of letters and numbers. The display name on the profile can change; the ID cannot.
Is my user ID private?
No. It appears in your profile link and anyone with the link can see it. It gives no access to the account or to private data: it only identifies the profile.
What is a Spotify URI?
A short way to point to something inside Spotify, in the form spotify:type:id. The desktop apps and many tools accept it instead of the link.
Does it work with spotify.link links from the phone?
Yes. The tool follows the short link's redirect to the open.spotify.com address and reads the ID from there.
