Get play count of a track from Spotify API

Question

Is it possible to get the play count of a song (for the current user)? I only found Toplist and the Track class, but neither tells me how often a user listened to a song.

@Thomas, there is already a tag for Spotify. Why did you add a new one to over twenty questions? – Crackup

@Crackup his comment to the edit was "Introducing new tag for spotify apps, to distinguish from other spotify apis" – Platen

@Charles, seemed appropriate, considering the existence of the libspotify and cocoalibspotify2.0 tags – Teuton

@Thomas, those tags are for specific libraries that implement the API. Regardless, I now see what you're talking about -- there's a new Spotify API for "apps." The tag wiki is confusing, and I'll be submitting a correction... – Crackup

Answer 1

As far as I know there is no way to retrieve that data at the moment.

If you care about this feature, please give it a "thumbs up" on GitHub: github.com/spotify/web-api/issues/70 – Topfull

It is no longer possible to upvote this on GitHub as the repo has been archived. – Unction

Answer 2

This is not possible through the Spotify API right now. The Last.fm API does offer information similar to this, as a potential work-around.

Answer 3

Marked as not right now on the Spotify support site.

However, this article from 538 a journalist got a look at Nestify where that information is available.

I would assume that the information would eventually be made available via the API.
