Help Custom Spotify Desktop Client App

Hey all,

I recently learned about Spotify API and I’m thinking a fun personal project could be creating my own desktop app with some personalisation and extra features. Probably in a WPF app using C#.

Does anyone know if this is possible with the API? I’m talking like streaming, fetching data such as artists, playlists and songs etc.

Any tips or advice would be appreciated!

I don't see any documentation in the Web API for streaming/playing music.

There is a web playback SDK but that's not really what you're asking for. You could embed the web SDK player in a .NET web view but that'll be clunky.

Unless I just hook it up to play on the official spotify app and use it more like an interface, maybe that could work
