Spotify Data

The Music Atlas is based entirely off of Spotify data . Three separate, but related, sets of data were collected. The first set of data collected information about Spotify curated playlists, the second set gathered artist-level data, and the third set collected a wider range of playlist data by removing the Curated by Spotify constraint. All data was collected and accessed through Spotify's public API between March 20th and April 14th. To use Spotify's API, you will need an access token, which can be acquired by creating a Spotify Developer Account . The data I collected is available here: Spotify Data for the Music Atlas (under construction).

Subject to and conditional upon your compliance at all times with these Developer Terms, particularly the limitations in Section IV below, Spotify grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right during the Term (as defined in Section IX.10)...". For non-streaming SDAs (e.g., Music Atlas) Spotify Grants permission to develop and distribute Non-Streaming SDAs that comply with the Branding Guidelines for use with the Spotify Service.".
