    true

    Whether the track/album/artist was found and returned play-count records.

  • reason"not_found"

    Present only when `found` is false, and says why there is no result. `not_found`: the source states the target does not exist, or returned nothing for it. A `found: false` answer is a successful call, not an error, and `costUsd` is what it actually cost.

You get back. Named, typed fields in the same shape whichever source answers.

About the Spotify Play count API

The AnyAPI Spotify Play count API returns Spotify play count data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/spotify.play_count. Fetch stream counts and stats for a Spotify track, album, or artist URL. AnyAPI returns one normalized schema whichever source serves it. It costs from $3.30 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of Spotify play count calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 4.3 seconds across 4 measured calls.

It costs from $3.30 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet and each call draws it down.

Fetch stream counts and stats for a Spotify track, album, or artist URL. The response is normalized JSON with the same envelope every AnyAPI endpoint returns, so parsing a second endpoint is a change of URL and nothing else.

Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of Spotify play count calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 4.3 seconds across 4 measured calls. These are AnyAPI's own measurements of traffic through the gateway, recomputed continuously, not a published service-level target.
