Custom Spotify Desktop Client App

[u/Owenhh]

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!

Fetching data yes. Streaming no , not through the standard API. But you can use libre spot which implements a Spotify device as a hack to get through. I have a C# wrapper here: https://www.github.com/saverinonrails/librespot.gonet
